The Chinese Junk "Keying"–Captain Kellett–As she appeared in New York harbour July 13th, 1847–212 days from Canton.–720 tons burthen. 1847

Nathaniel Currier's lithograph, *The Chinese Junk "Keying"–Captain Kellett–As she appeared in New York harbour July 13th, 1847–212 days from Canton.–720 tons burthen.* (1847) captures a significant moment in 19th-century maritime history. The artwork depicts the Chinese junk *Keying*, a large cargo ship, as it arrived in New York Harbor in 1847, after a long journey from Canton, China. Currier's detailed depiction of the ship, along with the accompanying text, provides a glimpse into the expanding trade routes and cultural exchange between China and the United States during this period. This artwork is a testament to the power of the sea and the interconnectedness of nations through trade.
