Title: Tea Clipper, 1979 [Go to resource]
Description: A note on tin says that the pictures are 'Reproduced by courtesy of the National Maritime Museum', though the specific identity of the originals is not given. The picture on the lid is a detail from a larger work, which is given in fill in the panels on all four sides. The Cutty Sark was the most famous of the tea-clippers, whose hey-day was in the second half of the 19th century. Fleets of tea-clippers would arrive in India and China for the annual tea crop. The first ship home would be able to command a far higher price for her cargo, and so these beautiful ships were built for speed and have a large area of sail and sleek lines.
