THE TEA CLIPPER ERA.

This honour belongs to the Lightning and the w James Baines, both American built wooden clippers owned and ran by the famous speeds ever attained by sailing ships were Black Tall Line. The highest recorded

"These runs have never been approached by any of the tea clippers, but they were larger and more powerful ships in every way. It is also incorrect, he says to state that the Cutty Sark is the last of the ten clippers.. The beautiful little Lothair (built by Pile, of Sunderland) is still afloat. He saw ber in the early mineties in Callao, where she was then owned, looking as spic and span as a yacht. He gives it as his opinion that the Bothair was a more beautiful example of the clipper shipbuilders' art than the Cully Sarb.
