The vessel was of a type known as a "Half Clipper" or "Down Easter" a class of medium sized clipper ships built in the northeast states and was rated at 1448 tons. The ships dimensions were 207' x 40' x 24. She was built for J. Henry Sears of Boston. The ship had a memorable career. On March 28 1878 after a voyage from Manila the Spartan went aground in New York harbor near Fire Island. The ship was salvaged and repaired and was later sold to Commander T.H. Allen of San Francisco. After some years of trading the Spartan was being used as a coal drogher in the Pacific trades. On August 19 1905 on a voyage from Newcastle Australia to Kaanapali Hawaii she went aground on the east coast of Maui. This time the vessel and her cargo of coal were a total loss.From an OCLC search by us which revealed this entry for the "Spartan Papers" at this SF institution dated 1897 There are several sailing ships named "Spartan" including another from this era which had been working for the Union Line of UK ships. .
