Excerpt from A Sea Trip in Clipper Ship Days On a chill gray afternoon in December, the good Ship, National Eagle, left the wharf in East Boston, bound for New Orleans. A group of relatives and friends, a few minutes before had filed down the gangway, and were still standing on the wharf, waving hats and handkerchiefs, as the ship, her moorings loosened and cast off, began to move slowly and majestically away from the pier. On board of her, as she glided away, in the waning light of the short winter afternoon, were the Captain; three officers or mates, designated as first, second and third; a carpenter; a steward; a cook; a crew of twenty or more men, known as "sailors before the mast"; and four younger men, called boys to distinguish them from the men of the crew. There were also two passengers, my sister and myself - daughters of the Captain. The Era of the Clipper Ship was the most picturesque, and perhaps the most profitable period, in the maritime life of the United States. It began about 1843 because of the growing demand for a quicker delivery of tea from China. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This work offers a new and comprehensive account of the fastest and most beautiful sailing ships ever built. It explores the quest for speed on the seas from the early 1800s through the fast-paced times of the 1850s spurred on by the California Gold Rush of 1849. Not only are the career details of such noted ships as the Flying Cloud and Challenge discussed in detail, but they are also put in context with the times in which they operated. Their builders in East Coast states from Maine to Florida are discussed in detail, as are the men, and a woman in one instance, who commanded and manned these ships. The book documents the roles that owners and shipping agents played, what kinds of cargo the ships carried worldwide and the unusual trades in which they participated.
