First sentence: THE LIFE OF A SHIP begins when an individual or organization decides upon the need or desire for such a vehicle to further the pursuit of pleasure or profit-in the case of the American-built clipper ship, the quest for profit in merchant shipping, and the quest for progress and product development on the part of the designer and shipbuilder.
