Clipper Ship Black Warrior, Late 1850s
The clipper ship Black Warrior was built in Maine in 1853 and purchased by a Baltimore shipping company. It made guano voyages to Peru in 1855 and 1857. It also sailed to China twice in the late 1850s; this oil portrait of the ship at Hong Kong was painted by an unknown Chinese artist on one of those voyages. |
