 W' © Four Bells At the end of the voyage the Clippership 1950 in Sea-hoard East Haven has come through in the true spirit of our forefathers, the mariners of the Clipper-Ship Era. Theirs was a ship of “Trade and of Conquest”; ours, one of “Education and Knowledge”. We, like they, have learned the feel of the ship, have sailed upon the “Sea of Adventure” and have had the smell of Success in our nostrils. For we, who have trod y y the path of new ideas and ideals, have followed in the footsteps of those who accomplished the impossible, sailing upon the seas in ships of doubt, those who winning out against all odds defeated the English Navy in such a brief interval of time. With our experienced Captains, we, the young seamen of the “Vessel 1950”, have reached port and now, when four bells have struck, are prepared to ship out on the biggest craft of all “Life”.
