T. J. Southard [SEP] Notable ships
In 1854, Southard built the 1,400 ton "Wizard King", which "established for itself a fine record in Australian service." Both "Gauntlet" and "Wizard King" were classified as clippers and are usually referred to as such, but according to Fairburn, were no more than "half-clippers" at best. Some of the largest vessels built at the Southard yard, constructed between 1875 and 1879, were the full-rigged ships "Charles Dennis"—"a good-looking and loftily-spired ship" of 1,710 tons; "Eureka" (2,101 tons); "Red Cross" (1,300 tons) and "Theodore H. Allen" (1,537 tons). Of these, "Eureka" in particular was an "outstanding" ship: the largest Maine-built vessel at time of construction, she later made several fast passages around Cape Horn or across the Atlantic.
