The Era of the Clipper Ships

The Era of the Clipper Ships so far is divided into 32Web page segments, each from four to six pages in length, to be read in sequence starting with 'South Street.' We have put together this first five parts of The Era of the Clipper Ships making the best use with whatever picture material was on hand at the moment. There will be revisions made in the future as new pictures are obtained following our research junkets to maritime museums and bookstores from Newport News to Nova Scotia later on this year. So this is just the beginning of the bare bones of the Web site that will eventually be here. From this point onward we would like to make these pages more interactive with maritime history enthusiasts of the clipper ship era everywhere and to encourage everyone to Email us pictures that you feel would go well on our pages. The next part of this Web site will be posted by early December 2001 and a new part will be added every month thereafter. The entire book will be posted on the Web by 2002 and will remain there as a historical research archive of the clipper ship era.
