PASSING OP THE CLIPPERS Those were the days when the Boston-built Clippers With huge white wings spread to the breeze. When Lauchlan McKay and his type of “Skippers” Won prestige for America upon the seas. When Donald McKay, the peerless builder, Added lustre to the Stars and Stripes; It is enough this old mariners mind to bewilder. To think that now they are all “Vanished Types.” The coming of the age of the steamship coupled with the Civil War sounded the death knell of the clipper. By 1865 the American clipper was a rare sight in- deed. Within the short space of a decade the clipper had flourished and was gone. Yes, the clippers have passed—but what they accomplished and what they stood for has not been forgotten. In their day they established the United States as a first rate Maritime nation. They helped to build the proud tradition upon which our Merchant Marine of today is founded. “Vanished Types” they are—but the proud flag they sailed under is still carried on the gaffs of fine merchant ships—ships of the United States Merchant Marine. 12 McKay’s proud clipper the “Glory of the Seas” as she ended her days on a beach near Seattle in 1923.
