The splendid Clipper-ship
RED JACKET.
This renowned Clipper is admittedly the fastest and handsomest
ship in the world. The following enumeration of her passages will
show her sailing qualities :
New York to Liverpool in 13 days 2 hours.
Liverpool to Melbourne in 69 days.
Liverpool to Melbourne in 63 days.
Melbourne to Liverpool in 68 days.
England to Melbourne in 63 days.
She has made six voyages round the world in four years, in
which time she has sailed over nearly 200,000 miles without-the
loss of a spar, frequently running from 350 to 400 miles per diem,
and on one occasion she ran 417 nautical miles in one day—a rate
of speed far surpassing the fastest ocean steamers. Her saloons are
sumptuously furnished, and found in bedding, linen, and all neces-
saries. Cow, piano, and library for first-class passengers. Her
second cabin, intermediate, and steerage accommodations are equal
to those of any ship in the trade. Passengers embark 30th April.
For freight or passage apply to the owners.
