View related Fitz Henry Lane catalog entries (1) »
The schooner yacht "Northern Light" was designed by Louis Winde for Colonel William P. Winchester and built by Whitmore Holbrook at East Boston in 1839. She was sold in 1846 for use as a packet between Boston and Plymouth, Massachusetts. She was re-purchased by Winchester in 1848 who sold her in the following year, and was then used to take prospectors to California during the Gold Rush. She was driven ashore in the Magellan Straits and lost in March 1850.
