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.
There were 1320 passengers and 907 crew. The first few days of the voyage were uneventful. Captain Smith steadily increased speed day by day. The ship covered 386 miles on the first day, 519 the second and 546 miles the third. It was reported that Smith would have increased the mileage day by day. The passengers were unaware that one of the coalbunkers had been on fire since departure.
