Clipper Ship Dreadnought off Tuskar Light, 12 1/2 days from New York on her celebrated passage into dock at Liverpool in 13 days 11 hours Decr. 1854. To her Commander S. Samuels Esq this Print is respectfully dedicated.
New York: N. Currier, 1856 [but 1915]. Lithograph, colored by hand, from a painting by D. McFarlane Sheet size: 20 3/4 x 27 3/4 in. A fine image of the fastest ship of her day. A second impression of this great image, taken from the original stone in 1915. The famed 'Blue Ribband' wasn't introduced until the 1860's, and then only for the fastest voyage by steam-powered passenger liners, but the clipper `Dreadnought' captured the public's imagination with the speed of her Atlantic crossings. Under the captainship of Samuel Samuels, her fastest accredited time is 9 days, 21 hours, from Sandy Hook to Queenstown.Conningham 1144; Gale 1261; Peters 5
