Page "Clipper" Paragraph 33

Although many clipper ships were built in the mid-19th century, Cutty Sark was, perhaps until recently, the only survivor.

Falls of Clyde is a well-preserved example of a more conservatively designed, slower contemporary of the clippers, which was built for general freight in 1878.

Other surviving examples of clippers of the era are less well preserved, for example the oldest surviving clipper City of Adelaide ( a. k. a. S. V.

Carrick ).
