Clipper Ship 'Mondoro'


The Mondoro was launched in 1864, built at Boston for Silsbee, Pickman & Allen of Salem. She was the last of the great East India fleet, which, for over 100 years, had represented Salem merchants and the American flag. This painting depicts the Mondoro resting at anchor near a shoreline.
Oil painting by Maarten Platje (Dutch, 1967--).
