Clipper ships were extremely fast sailing ships developed primarily
|
|
by the United States between the 1830's and 1860's. Clippers' did not have
|
|
a final definition written in stone, but did share certain characteristics
|
|
such as a sharp hull (designed for speed, not for cargo capacity) and a
|
|
heavy and lofty square rig.
|
|
|
|
The origin of the clipper is debatable. Some believe that it was
|
|
descended from the French frigate of the late 1700's. Other's believe that
|
|
it originated from the early Baltimore clipper's. It is highly probable
|
|
that it was designed by many ship builders who combined their experience.
|
|
|
|
The first American clippers like the Rainbow and the Sea Witch, were
|
|
built in New York for tea trades to China. A few years later, the
|
|
California Gold Rush was the major concern of such ships. One of the
|
|
fastest clipper was the Flying Cloud, which, on her maiden voyage, was the
|
|
first ship to sail from New York, around the Cape Horn, and to San
|
|
Francisco in under 90 days. By this time period, Yankee ship builders were
|
|
building clipper ships for the British, who dominated the rote to
|
|
Australia. One of these such people was Donald McKay, who built the James
|
|
Baines. Unfortunately, the James Baines ended in a fire at Liverpool.
|
|
Later, McKay would build another ship, known as Lightening for James
|
|
Baines. The Lightening would race the Red Jacket, a vessel built by George
|
|
Thomas. These two ships raced, and the Red Jacket logged 2,020 nautical
|
|
miles in six days.
|
|
|
|
These ships were once great. Now we have larger, stronger, and faster
|
|
ships. Once great clippers are now nothing but museum exhibits. The old let
|
|
to the new. Even on the ocean, this law follows.
