June 19, 1852: The now famous American clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas is launched from Donal McKay shipyard, Boston. She is pictured above and here is a contemporary description:There are doubtless many ships more tastefully ornamented...; but for beauty in model, strength of construction and completeness of equipment aloft, she has no superior... She is well named the Sovereign of the Seas of Boston.
