Coulter -- The American Bark Wilna Breaking its Record Between Nanaimo, B.C., and San Francisco -- August 24, 2022

San Francisco Call, 01-April-1896

William A Coulter did many maritime drawings for the San Francisco Call. We saw another post about the Wilna setting a record in June:

The American bark Wilna beat the best previous record for a round trip between Nanaimo, B.C., and San Francisco by twenty-four hours. She made the run down the coast in six days, although becalmed forty hours.
