# 1. Sovereign of the Seas

Some like pictures of women and some likes 'orses best,

But I like pictures of ships, by Gum, and you can keep the rest,

And I don't care if it's North or South, the Trades or the China Sea,

Shortened down or everything set, close-hauled or running free;

But paint me a ship as is like a ship and that'll do for me.

 

From Pictures-By Cicely Fox-Smith

Taken from the ILLUSTRATIONS credits page of Richard C. McKay's book Some Famous Sailing Ships and Their Builder Donald McKay.

Our sentiments exactly. Therefore we have put together this first fund raising clipper ship picture offering of two parts, one a T-shirt and the other a selcetion of color 8 1/2 " x 11" window transparencies. Both of which are presented here. The transparency at the top of this page is a picture of the Sovereign of the Seas and is meant for any window in your house or boat and the picture in the daytime looks just as vivid as the one on your screen. Below there are five more transparancies to chose from including our Home Page picture, six transparancies in all in our offering for right now. The selection will expand in the months to come. Surf on down through the pictures for more information.

Your orders will go a long way with the upgrading and maintaining of this Web site over the weeks and months to come. We will do the best we can with whatever we have to work with in the future. We have high hopes of being able to make a series of research junkets to the maritime museums and bookstores in the year to come from Newport News to Nova Scotia. A research junket to San Francisco is also contemplated if the funds are there. Our plan is to round up the finest maritime artwork collection that we can find for this Web site and book. A few sailing adventures are also called for. Therefore we would like to sell hundreds of T-shirts and transparencies in the coming months-especially over the Holiday Season.

Everyone needs T-shirts. Buy them for yourself and your friends. Simply by wearing one of these T-shirts helps to spread the word about this Web site and brings the ultimate goal of American clipper ships sailing the Seven Seas in our lifetimes ever closer.

So please send us along your order to the below address. Let us know what size and color T-shirt(s) you want and be sure to include a check or money order. You can print out the following Ship's Store Snail Mail Order Form to make ordering easier. Make out check or money order to: 'The Era of the Clipper Ships.' Allow two weeks for delivery.
