Summary[edit]
DescriptionFlying Fish Baltimore clipper.jpg |
Architectural drawing of the Flying Fish, a ship used by the Royal Navy. Architectural drawing of the clipper Flying Fish shows a mixture of square and gaff rigs. Bermuda sloops were used by the navy in combatting French privateers, and as advice vessels, carrying communications and important materials. Inspired by the success of American privateers, however, the Admiralty used the Baltimore clipper Flying Fish as the model for a class of sloops, placing orders with boat builders in Bermuda and Britain. Although the American schooner's developments had been influenced by Bermudian vessels and builders, they were intended as coastal vessels, and were shallower drafted than comparably sized Bermudian designs (which were intended for the open ocean). |
