Our Identity: The Clipper Ship

"Never in these United States, has the brain of man conceived, or
the hand of man fashioned, so perfect a thing as the clipper ship."

                                                                   Samuel Elliot Morison

Large, sleek and fast, the California clipper was designed to bear merchandise to important markets. The clippers appeared like white-winged masses of cloud, majestically soaring upon the summer breeze. These magnificent vessels performed the longest regular voyages known in commerce, running along America's coasts in record time. Ever steady and reliable, the clippers shaped and revolutionized this country's trade future.
