Coulter -- Clipper Servia -- February 19, 2023

San Francisco Call, 18-November-1898

WA Coulter did many maritime drawings for the San Francisco Call. Servia was a common spelling for Serbia. Santa Rosalía is a port in Baja California on the Gulf of California. El Boleo is a copper mine near Santa Rosalía. At this time, the mine was operated by a French company. 

She is Now Owned in San Francisco.

The fine American clipper ship Servia has been purchased from Eastern parties by A. Anderson of Lewis, Anderson and Co. and others and this will be her home port In future. The Servia has been loaded here by Felix Santallier for the Companie du Boleo at Santa Rosalia and will sail for that port in a few days. From Santa Rosalia the ship will go to Puget Sound and there load lumber for Australia. Captain Gilmore is in command of the Servia.
