Coulter -- Ship Falls of Clyde -- August 17, 2023

San Francisco Call, 02-January-1903

William A Coulter did many maritime drawings for the San Francisco Call. This example is a painting. It shows the Falls of Clyde, an oil tanker built in Scotland. At that time, she was operated by San Francisco's Matson Navigation Company. She still survives as a museum ship in Honolulu.
 
NEWS OF THE OCEAN.

The passage of the ship Falls of Clyde, thirteen days to Hilo, while not the fastest on record, is the fastest in many months and one of the best ever made between here and the islands.
