The clipper ship Forest Queen was built in 1849 by the Southard ship building company located in Richmond, Maine. The ship sailed out of New York and was active in the trans-Atlantic trade for many years. Montague Dawson was inspired to paint the Forest Queen from information he garnered from men who actually sailed on this ship.
