A three-masted wooden extreme clipper ship built in 1853 by William H. Webb, New York, for George B. Daniels, New York. Her principal dimensions were: LOA: 243ft, Beam: 43ft-2in, Draft: 26ft-9in, and tonnage: 1439 tons. She was known as an able, seaworthy and long lived ship. Between 1853 and 1880 she made numerous passages between New York, San Francisco and Hong Kong. She went missing in 1886 after she entered the Atlantic oil trade.
