The Maritime Heritage Project is committed to providing free information to everyone; the focus is world shipping during the 1800s, with a concentration on San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush years.

America was created by everyone and belongs to everyone; early settlers came over land bridges in the Bering Straits from Russia and Japan, up and down coastlines, across the Continent on foot and with horses, by early sailors from France, England, Russia, Spain, and, perhaps, by Polynesian people.

Arrive San Francisco: July 15, 1852
Gov. Morton
Captain Burgess
From New York via Cape Horn

Passage:

Daily Alta California, July 15, 1852

HEAVY ARRIVAL OF PASSENGERS VIA CAPE HORN.--
Reference to our shipping memoranda will show the arrival of the ship Gov. Morton, from New York, after a passage of one hundred and twenty four days, having on board one hundred and eight passengers. This is the largest number of passengers that has arrived in one ship by the way of Cape Horn in many months. It recalls the days of early emigration to California, when a Cape Horn passage was the most comfortable trip to the gold mines, and when ship loads were borne hither in crazy old hulks, which it always seemed quite miraculous should have survived the journey.

A PASSENGERS� CARD.�The passengers by the ship Gov. Morton, from New York, adopting the fashionable method of an "expression" at the "close of a long journey," by a card to the captain and officers of the vessel, present in another column one of the spiciest "tokens" that we have read for many a day. Such a torrent of complaint and censure could only emanate from a shipload of passengers whose patience as well as their bread, butter and "small stores" had been exhausted by a trip around Cape Horn. (Note: The "card" will be located and printed herein.)
