fast.
The Swift was a two masted top

lines of the old Baltimore Clippers,

her carved figurehead, her OBJ

made the denizens of the water

been transported back a hundred

American %privateer slipping out
to sea to harry enemy commerce

thing lacking tc complete the

with men and the muzzles of
guns ~protruding above the rail
