Celebrated as one of the most handsome, fast, and versatile sailing rigs,
schooners plied the trade winds of the world for more than two hundred-fifty
years.
In the 1790's, Maryland led the United States in shipbuilding and Baltimore
was the undisputed leader of this.
American privateers, many of them sailing out of Chesapeake Bay in Baltimore
Clippers built in Fells Point, captured or sank some 1,700 British merchant
vessels during the war of 1812. Other Baltimore Clippers served as cargo
vessels to bring needed munitions and other armaments through the naval
blockade that the British imposed on the US coastline, including Chesapeake
Bay.
This exquisite, award winning model was built by master modeler Igor Akimov,
and is being offered at $15,000 US.
