By 1850, this journey was halved. For instance the clipper ship Oriental was able to sail from Hong Kong to London in 97 days that year. The absolute one day distance record made by a clipper involved 436 nautical miles. Clipper ships were fast but no specific rig type was standard. By 1845, the term was used in conjunction with a name indicating the cargo carried or area served by a fast-sailing vessel and a specific rig type was usually indicated.
With an speed of 17 knots and a capacity of 1700 tons, the 280-foot long ship could travel from China to London in 122 days. The trip from Australia to England, carrying wool, could be done in 67 days. She was crewed by 28-35 people. Photo: Rob Glover via flickr.
