Tells the story of a handful of cutthroat competitors who raced to build the fastest, finest, most profitable clipper ships to carry their previous cargo to American shores. They were visionary, eccentric shipbuilders, debonair captains, and desperately ambitious merchants with names like Forbes and Delano - men whose business interests took them from the cloistered confines of China's expatriate communities to the sin-city decadence of Gold Rush-era San Francisco and from the teeming hubbub of East Boston's shipyards to the lavish sitting rooms of New York's Hudson Valley estates.Collection
