Clipper ships were first built in 1910.
At the time when English steamships
were beginning to take business away
from the Yankee packets. The latter
had been the rulers of the seas from
the establishment Of the Black Ball line
in 1916. That was just after Uncle
Sans rights on the high seas had been
vindicated by the outcome Of the War
Of 1872. The first clippers we're built
for speed, regardless Of carrying ca
pacity, but were not very profitable,
because Of their small freight and their
structural weakness.
They we're called into being by tn,
demands Of the California trade. and
in 1851 the secret OF building swift
ships that were also stanch and ca.
pacious WAS solved by the Challenge,
the Invincible, the Comet and the
Swordfish. These vessels were of enor.
nous size for those days, the Challenge
being of 1000 tons, and their appear.
ance was beautiful in the extreme.
The arrival in the Port of New York OF
q clipper that had won repute as q fast
sailer always excited the widest and
most patriotic enthusiasm. She caused
corresponding emotions of chagrin
when she touched at British ports.
Nor was the advantage altogether sem
timental, for the swift Yankee ships
could command much higher freights
than slow British vessels, $50 a ton
freight being readily paid to American
shippers from China to Liverpool,
while 800 was thought enough for En-
glish masters. Had it not been for the
fact that the English were first to use
iron in building steamships, and the
destructive work ofthe Alabama during
the Civil War, America might yet be su.
preme on the wave.-New York Times.
