Launched at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, U.S.A. in 1853, this clipper ship of 1054 tons was unusual as she had a square stern. Built originally for Samue; Tilton & Co. of Boston, in 1870, the vessel was adapted for the lumber trade. In 1920 she was stranded on the mud flats of Seymour Narrows and was never salvaged.

Great Republic
There were two Republics, the first was built in 1853 by Donald McKay, East Boston, U.S.A., and was the largest merchant sailing ship constructed in the U.S.A.. After partial destruction by fire she was rebuilt at Greenpoint, Long Island, and in 1868 was purchased by the Merchant Trading Company, Liverpool, England, and renamed Denmark.
