The clipper ship's short reign started in the late 1840s and ended in the late 1850s. In that time clipper ships were the best means of fast travel. There were three very famous clipper ships- the Rainbow, noticed as the first extreme clipper ship of her time, the Sea Witch, an even faster clipper made by the same person, J.W. Griffiths, and the Dreadnought, built in Newburyport by Currier and Townsend. An extreme clipper is a clipper ship that is designed to sacrifice cargo capacity for speed.
