STORY OF THE CLIPPER SHIP

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Here is the history of the clipper, from the launching of Donald McKay's first design in 1846 to the final victory of steam over sail. It is also an exciting portrayal of the era when no man was a real sailor until he had rounded Cape Horn, and when ships raced one another to the Orient to capture the tea trade.
Author Basil Heatter's enthusiasm for sailing gives life and color to his story of the clipper ships, their captains and crews, and their perilous but exhilarating voyages.
