From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Herald was a sailing ship, active in whaling in the Pacific. A log exists for 1858-1859. Its home port was New Bedford, Massachusetts, owner and master George H. Cash.
She was purchased for $4,000 at her home port for $4,000 to be used as part of the Stone Fleet and was sunk along with 15 other vessels on December 20, 1861, about four miles south-southeast of Fort Sumter and three miles east-southeast of the light on Morris Island.[1]
