Ebook: Greyhounds of the Sea: The Story of the American Clipper Ship

"Since this book’s first appearance the author and others have continued their inquiries into the thoughts and activities of the men who designed, owned, and sailed the clippers. As a result of this scholarly activity over three decades, new information has come to light and has been incorporated into the present edition.

Three new illustrations, of the Ino, Andrew Jackson, and Young America, have been added to the original selection, as well as the Rainbow’s lines and sail plan and the lines of the record-breaking Lightning.

Additions and corrections aside, the book has been printed from the original plates." - excerpt from publisher's note
