Ships to stir the seafaring heart. The zenith of the age of sail. A golden lure for clipper builders. From mold loft to launch: genesis of a Yankee clipper. Behind the romance, a bitter test of wills. Every sea a racecourse, every voyage a trial of speed. A passenger's view of a "most pleasant voyage". "A grand ship that will last forewer". Down-easters: a last echo of a vanishing tradition. Bibliography. Picture credits
