The sound of the caulker's mallet was loud all through 1852 and 1853, as building yards con­tinued to turn out ships for the California passage. Architects and owners were proud of their tow­ering vessels. Many were commemorated in oil paintings. The Herald of the Morning was in service on the Cape Horn run from 1853 to 1887, and her portrait above is attributed to J. W. Stancliff.
