A rare broadside from the height of the California Gold Rush, advertising the imminent departure of the first-class clipper ship SUCCESS from Pier 26, East River, New York to San Francisco. Printed in bold woodblock type, the sheet captures the spirit of adventure and ambition that defined the 1850s and the feverish demand for fast passage to California. As noted by Ten Pound Island Book Co., SUCCESS was built at Damariscotta in 1851, with Chase listed as master on the sailing card pictured in Yankee Ship Sailing Cards, Vol. III. A major survivor from the golden era of American clipper ships and Gold Rush migration. Dimensions: 24 ¼ x 37 ¼ in.; Framed 34 ½ x 47 ½ in.
