  • The Development of the Clipper Ship 49
    1929.] The Development of the Clipper Ship 49 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CLIPPER SHIP BY CHABLES E. PARK T HAS been said that during the fifteen or twenty I years which came exactly in the middle of the 19th Century, America was the mistress of the seas. If such a statement means that the American fiag was to be seen in every port of the world, that American bottoms commanded the highest freight rates, that American vessels held all records for speed, that American ships were unexcelled in size, in beauty, and in seaworthy qualities, and that American captains were unequalled in skill and daring, the statement is a true one. The type of vessel by means of which this suprem- acy on the ocean was attained is known as the Clipper Ship. That designation must be understood as a technical one. A clipper is a vessel designed for speed at the expense of carrying capacity, such design taking the form of sharpness and slenderness of hull with clean, fiowing, graceful lines that offer the least possible resistance to the water at the bows, that create the least possible drag or inrush of water under the stern, and that create the smallest possible wake or swell as the vessel moves ahead. In other words, a clipper is a vessel so carefully designed as to move through the water with the least possible commotion, hence with the greatest ease. A ship is a vessel rigged with three masts, and with square sails on each mast. This rig at the time of which we are speaking was considered the standard rig for ocean going vessels.
