Voyage of the Frolic
In the late 1840s, the Baltimore-built clipper ship Frolic plied Asian waters as one of the fastest American sailing vessels in the opium trade between India and China.
In 1850 the ship was outfitted by New England merchants in Canton with a cargo of export goods bound for Gold Rush San Francisco. Those goods included colorful silks, ceramics, lacquerware, camphorwood trunks, a prefabricated house and more than 6,000 bottles of Edinburgh ale. These were the items on the official ship?s manifest. However, it is what was not listed on the manifest that will determine the fate of the Frolic and all souls aboard?
