Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Seminole was built at Mystic by Maxson, Fish & Co., 1865. She was originally a medium clipper ship in the California trade, sailing out of New York. Joseph Warren Holmes of Mystic commanded her during some of this period. In the late 1880's and 1890's, she was a bark working on the West Coast, active in the lumber trade. Seminole later became a storage hulk at Port Adelaide, Australia. 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. Printed on rear of print: "HARRY DRING/ 2406 Wishkan Blvd./Aberdeen, Wash. Neg. No. GP".
