EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the majestic Chinese Junk Keying as she gracefully entered New York Harbor on July 13, 1847, marking the end of her 212-day journey from Canton. With a burdensome tonnage of 720 tons, this impressive vessel was one of the many Chinese junks that transported goods across the Pacific Ocean during the mid-19th century. Captained by the skilled mariner, Capt. Kellett, the Keying was a sight to behold as it navigated its way through the bustling harbor. The intricate details of the junk's design are on full display in this photograph, from its ornate dragon head figurehead to the intricately carved wooden deck and sails. The Chinese junk was a unique and important part of maritime history, representing the rich cultural exchange between the East and the West during this period. The image of the Keying in New York Harbor on July 13, 1847, is a testament to the long and storied history of Chinese junks and their role in global trade. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to witness the arrival of this magnificent vessel in the heart of the New World.
