Built in 1850 by Jacob Bell, New York (engines by Allaire Iron Works, New York)
for the Collins Line, she was a 2,123 gross ton ship, length 282.5ft x beam 45ft,
straight stem, one funnel, three masts (rigged for sails), wooden construction,
paddle wheel propulsion and a speed of 12 knots. Accommodation was provided for
200-1st class passengers. Launched on 5/2/1850, she sailed from New York on her
maiden voyage to Liverpool on 16/11/1850. In 1851, accommodation for 80-2nd class
passengers was added and between 6th-16th/8/1851 she made a record passage between
Liverpool and New York. In approx. 1853 her mizzen (third) mast was removed and
she commenced her last Liverpool - New York voyage on 3/2/1858 (arr New York
18/2/1858). This was the last voyage of the company which was then wound up,
and the "Baltic" was laid up from 1858-9. On 9/7/1859 she was bought by the North
Atlantic Steamship Co. and ran between New York and Aspinwall until 1860, when she
was laid up again. In 1861 she was used as a Civil War transport, and on 26/4/1866
commenced the first of two round voyages for North American Lloyd between New York,
Southampton and Bremen. On 21/2/1867 she sailed fom New York on the first of five
round trip voyages for the New York & Bremen Steamship Co between New York,
Southampton and Bremen. Her last voyage commenced on 21/10/1867 and in 1870 her
engines were removed. She was finally scrapped in 1880. [Posted to The ShipsList
