Summary[edit]

Description
English: Clipper ship sailing card for ERICSSON,. Matthews, Master / Commander. The Ericsson was named after the famed marine engineer John Ericsson, who invented the screw propeller. She was notable because she was originally designed as a steamship. When government legislation made the operation of steamers less profitable she was retrofitted as a sailing ship and had some excellent passages in the 1850s. She was still making fast passages twenty years later. This card is larger than most clipper ship cards, measuring 7 1/8 x 5 1/4 inches.
