FAMOUS TEA CLIPPERS. FORTUNE WON AFTER 85
IN THE CHINA TEAS.
Captain Andrew Shewan, who onoo commanded the famous tes clipper Norman Court, and who is probably oan of the few men living who can talk well from actual experience of the work of the famous tes clippers of the latter hall of the last century, relates some of his reminiscences in the Jane Laane of Sea Breezes the P.S.N.O. magazine. In the course of a long and interesting article be says:-
I first went to China in a tea clipper, the Chas-Sre, in 1863, but had lived "in the tea clipper atmosphere for some years before that, my father having command of Willis's "Lammermair," when the "Cairngorm," "Chrysolite," I'Vision," and others were as famous, or perhaps more so, than the Cutty Bark" was in her China career.
About 1860 the Liverpool-built "Fiery Cross" came on the scene and carried everything before her, so to speak. The Aberdeen-built "Flying Spar" and "Black Prince" wore over in it with the "Fiery Cross," though I think it was Captain Robinson that prevailed.
The Clyde-built "Falcon" was the only one that cams near the Liverpool crack, but then she was diven by another famous skipper, the late Captain John Keay.
Yet the Clyde came to the front in the end, about 1885, when the "Taep- ing" and "Serica," followed by the pearless ""Ariel, lowered "Dick" Robinson's colours in the "Fiery Cross." But the latter, being trans- ferred to the record breaker, the "Sir Lancelot," wrested victory from all competitors, until "Dick" retired from the sea in 1868.
