Summaryedit

Artist
Title
English: The celebrated American clipper Challenge under full sail
Date
Medium oil on cardboard
Dimensions 12 × 20 in (30.5 × 50.8 cm)
Inscriptions signed 'Antonio Jacobsen' and dated 1917 (lower right), inscribed (lower left)
Notes
English: Built by William Webb at New York for Griswold & Co. of the same port, Challenge was intended to be the fastest clipper afloat and her dimensions showed that she was larger than any clipper hitherto constructed. Undoubtedly Webb's finest-lined creation, she was registered at 2,006 tons and measured 230½ feet in length with a 43 foot beam. Despite the care lavished on her construction, she proved 'overhatted' and this probably accounted for her rather disappointing maiden voyage to San Francisco of 108 days in 1851, the year she was launched. Once this was remedied, she ran across the Pacific from Japan to San Francisco in 18 days, still a record, and thereafter performed extremely well until sold in Hong Kong in 1861. Renamed Golden City, she was resold again five years later and subsequently wrecked off the French coast in 1876.[1]
