GERMAN WINDJAMMERS
BOARD Will CHARTER THEM SOON

News stories in the San Francisco
Chronicle Of recent date say that the
five German windjammers seized in
Pacific coast ports by the United
States when war was declared April
s on Germany. have been renamed
with the names Of famous old vessels
Of the American clipper fleet which
made our merchant marine famous
back IN the sos.
Capt A. F. Pillsbury, in charge Of
U. s. shipping board affairs in San
Francisco, has given the ex-German
sailing vessels their new names, as
follows:
Ottawa to Flying Cloud; Dalbek to
Red Jacket; Steinbek to Northern
Light, Kurt to Dreadnought and Arm
uldus Vinnen to Gamecock. Each of
these clippers made many famous voy'
ages In days before the Civil War.
The Northern Light was built in
Boston in 1851 and made many trips
across the Atlantic, as we'll as around
the Horn to this port. Her fastest
voyage from San Francisco to Boston
was IS days and five hours, and she
made the round trip from the east
coast here and return. including dis
charging and loading here, in exactly
seven months.
The Red Jacket was built in Rock
land, Me-, in 1SS3-54 and was named
TOR an Indian chief, the likeness, Of
whom was carved for her figurehead.
Her first trip was from New York to
Liverpool in the remarkable time Of
IL days and one hour, or an average
Of more than $50 miles q day
One Of the most famous of the old
clippers was the Flying Cloud, which
name the Ottawa now In this port Is
to bear. She made a voyage from
Sand Hook to San Francisco in SO

Also famous was the Dreadnought,

ed off Cape Horn in 1860. She made
the run from Sandy Hook to Liver
pool in Is days eight hours, and there
is legend to the effect that on the
same wage her time between New
York and Queenstown was nine days
and II hours, but this last has never
been accepted as official.
The Gamecock was we'll known on
this coast for she was in the trade
between this port and the Orient for
many years. Her fastest voyage west
ward was a run of IS days from this
port to Hongkong.
Board Names Traffic Operator
The Chronicle also says that an
appointment which met with general
favor among shipping men in San
Francisco was the naming of Harold
