Clipper ships first appeared in the 1830s, bringing innovation to ocean travel. With their sleek hulls, tall masts, and sharp bows, these vessels were built for speed, allowing them to move quickly across the water. By the 1850s, clipper ships played a key role in global commerce, particularly in the California Gold Rush and the tea trade with China.

History

While clipper ships were celebrated for their speed and craftsmanship, they had a brief period of dominance, lasting only about three decades before steam-powered vessels took over commercial shipping. Some of the most famous clippers, including the Cutty Sark and Flying Cloud, are remembered for their record-breaking voyages. The Flying Cloud, for example, completed the New York-to-San Francisco route in just 89 days and 8 hoursan extraordinary achievement for its time.
