[James Dean] Fish of New York, and others, at a cost of $83,650. She was launched November 1869, the last full-rigged ship built at Mystic. She was driven ashore in a gale off the West African coast in 1883. No lives were lost in the wreck. Maxson, Fish & Co. was established in 1853 by William Ellery Maxson and Nathan G. Fish of Mystic, together with other partners. The yard was located in West Mystic. The business went bankrupt in 1870, soon after Fish's death. Mounted on cloth for ring album.
