Description
"The long looked for missionary ship was a thing of life and beauty, adorned with nearly her full complement of snow-white sails, and sitting so daintily upon the water." This account comes from Rev. E. Bond's meeting with the Morning Star, en route to the Marshall Islands to fulfill the mission for which it was built. In August 1856, just eight months earlier, an appeal had been made to the American Board for a missionary packet. To finance this endeavor, the children of the United States were invited to take a ten-cent share of joint ownership in the new vessel. The project met with great enthusiasm and success. Within three months, the Morning Star was completed and on its way to spread Christianity to the islands of the Pacific.
