Glidden & Williams

Glidden & Williams was a Boston-based clipper ship packet line which ran ships primarily between Boston and California in the 1850s and 1860s. It was a partnership between William T. Glidden and John M. S. Williams, formed in 1849.

Overview
Over the years Glidden & Williams owned over 50 ships, although not all at the same time due to losses and sales. In its heyday the firm ran about one ship per month to California. It also ran ships to other destinations, including China. Williams was involved in politics and was elected a member of the US House of Representatives. ==Images==
