The last United States-built clipper ship was constructed in 1874 in the small shipbuilding town of North Bend Oregon. Hailed for its record-breaking speed from Astoria to Liverpool, its journeys ended a mere 4 years after construction under interesting circumstances. The Last True Clipper details everything that we know about the last of these speedy vessels: detailed specifications, construction, operation, and its eventual end.
