Comment
Lightning was a clipper, one of the last truly large clippers to be built in the United States. It was built by Donald McKay for James Baines of the Black Ball Line, Liverpool, for the Australian trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_(clipper)https://franklin-mint-silver.com/franklin-mint-national-commemorative-society-medals.htm
