Additional Details

This clipper ship card was used to lure customers for a journey from New York around the horn to San Francisco. As often seen, no specific departure date is given; the ship would depart when it was sufficiently loaded with passengers and cargo. Sutton & Co. operated at this address from at least 1853 through 1861.
