NOTES: Engraving Plate From S.W. Stanton's "American Steam Vessels". VESSEL INFORMATION: VESSEL NAME: NEW MARY HOUSTON ALL SHIP'S NAMES: NEW MARY HOUSTON AKA MARY HOUSTON AND FANNY BULLITT VESSEL BUILT: 1877 BUILDER LOCATION: JEFFERSONVILLE, INDIANA VESSEL DIMENSIONS: 287' (l) x 41' (breadth of beam) x 7'4" (depth of hold).; TONNAGE 1163 VESSEL HISTORY: The NEW MARY HOUSTON was formerly the MARYHOUSTON, built 1868 at Jefferson Indiana being at that time constructed out of the steamboat FANNIE BULLITT, built at Jeffersonville in 1854. Built for the Ohio River and New Orleans passenger and freight trade. On January 10, 1893, while lying at wharfboat, Cincinnati, was cut through by ice and sunk. She was afterwards raised but was dismantled, the hull being converted into a freight barge. NOTES: Samuel Ward Stanton (American, 1870-1912) Liveliness and accuracy were the hallmarks of Stanton's drawings. His love of the steamboat and his intimate knowledge of the permutations of its uses prompted him to produce AMERICAN STEAM VESSELS in 1895. The material shown here offers a glimpse of the range of this talented artist. Returning home from Spain in 1912, Stanton chose to sail on the ill-fated TITANIC, and drowned. | 1994.0004.000025 | |||||||

ca 1878-1882 | RED CLOUD (SHIP: 1877-1882) | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Black painted tin elongated oval box with pull-off lid used for papers. NOTES: A note on the inside of the box indicates it was used on the ship Red Cloud. The name Red Cloud was also written on the outside of the box but the name is no longer visible. It was assumed the associated ship was the clipper Red Cloud, but the Motor Ship Redcloud (Steel St. Lawrence River canal size bulk freight barge built at Montreal in 1930 by Canadian Vickers, Ltd., Hull 115, official number 155292, tonnage 1424) had a first mate named H. Holmes (from greatlakesvesselhistory.com). There are also metal cases like this online that are identified as the case for World War II era gun cleaning kits. VESSEL INFORMATION - [this may not be the correct vessel] VESSEL NAME: RED CLOUD VESSEL BUILT: 1877 HOME PORT: BOSTON SHIP BUILDER: GEORGE THOMAS BUILDER LOCATION: QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS DIMENSIONS: 240' length, 43' breadth, 29' depth, 2100 tons VESSEL HISTORY: The American clipper Red Cloud was designed by George Thomas for Isaac Taylor of Boston and launched from the Taylor & Thomas yard at Quincy, Massachusetts, on 24th November 1877. Registered at 2,208 tons and measuring 230 feet in length with a 43 foot beam, she had a distinctive elliptical stern, a full poop deck 108 feet long and sported a large figurehead depicting the famous native Indian chief after whom she was named. A fast-enough sailer but no record-breaker, her maiden voyage was from Boston to Calcutta and thence to Liverpool via San Francisco. Two further lengthy round-trips followed, also terminating at Liverpool, and when she arrived there after her third voyage in March 1882, she was sold to German owners and renamed Carl Friedrich. At first she continued to trade between Liverpool and San Francisco but, in 1889, she was put to work on the Far East run. In December 1893, whilst on passage from New York to Hong Kong carrying 74,000 cases of kerosene, she stranded on the Luconia Reef in the Java Sea and became a total loss. - New York Daily Herald, November 27, 1877, page 10: Launched: At Quincy Point November 24, from the yard of Messrs. Thomas & Taylor, the new ship Red Cloud, of 2,100 tons. She was immediately towed to the Charleston Navy Yard, where the masts will be put in, after which she will go to East Boston and be fitted out at once for sea. Her builders were Messrs Thomas & Taylor. The San Franciso Examiner of December 7, page 3, adds the following details: Her keel was lade in September 1876. She is adapted for the California trade, and will be commanded by John Taylor, formerly of the ship Star of the West. Her dimensions are: Extreme length, 252 feet; keel 230 feet; beam 43 feet; depth of hold, 28-1/2 feet. She has three full decks, and is built on the same model as the ships Triumphant and America, new in this point, both of which are as near perfection as possible. - Boston Post, February 14, 1878, page 4: The new ship Red Cloud, of 2000 tons and three decks, is now fully rigged and ready for a buyer. She is lying at Battery Wharf. She is owned by Capt. Isaac Taylor, Deacon Thomas of Quincy, who built her, and others. - Boston Evening Transcript, March 4, 1878, page 1: The new ship Red Cloud, which was built at Quincy by Deacon Thomas, for Mr. Isaac Taylor, and noticed at the time of her launch in November as one of the largest ships belonging to his port, is to load with a cargo of grain for Liverpool.

It has been quite a pleasing and unusual sight to the people of Vallejo of late to witness in our harbor at South Vallejo four large full rigged American merchant ships. In most cases where a number of private ships congregate in our waters, the majority are owned and sailed under a foreign flag. One of the ships, the Red Cloud is said to be the largest clipper afloat. As one of the vessels started for the city yesterday, she hoisted her colors; the others followed suit and dipped them as she passed. It will probably be some time before our citizens will have the pleasure of viewing the stars and stripes, floating at the same time from every ship in the harbor. - The San Francisco Examiner, March 27, 1879, page 3: The ship Red Cloud, for Liverpool, had 41 M feet lumber and 65,914 ctls wheat, valued at $109,620.
