Lubbock traces the development and achievements of the celebrated passenger, emigrant, wool and general-cargo clippers that helped build the Australasian colonies, recording their designs, owners, commanders, voyages and remarkable passage times. Famous vessels and rivalries are described alongside shipwrecks, storms and the demanding experience of life aboard these fast ocean-going ships.\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  A noted maritime historian, Lubbock assembled much of his material over several decades from logbooks, captains' reports, correspondence and the recollections of surviving officers and seamen. Particular attention is given to verified sailing records and celebrated contests between ships, including the remarkable performances of Lightning, Red Jacket and Sovereign of the Seas. His combination of careful research and vivid narrative preserves both the technical history of the vessels and the character of the sailors who handled them, making the work an important reference on the golden age of commercial sail.\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n  Presented here is the 1921 second edition, published in Glasgow by James Brown \u0026amp; Son and bound in its original blue cloth with gilt titles to the front board and spine.
