Clipper Ship "Red Jacket": In the Ice off Cape Horn, on Her Passage from Australia, to Liverpool, August 1854. Hand-colored lithograph. Red Jacket was a clipper ship, one of the largest and fastest ever built. She was also the first ship of the White Star Line company. She was named after Sagoyewatha, a famous Seneca Indian chief, called "Red Jacket" by settlers. She was designed by Samuel Hartt Pook, built by George Thomas in Rockland, Maine, and launched in 1853, the last ship to be launched from this yard.
