		Clippers sailed all over the world, primarily on the trade routes between Britain and its colonies in the east, in the trans-Atlantic trade, and in the New York-to-San Francisco route round The Horn during the Gold Rush.
		Clippers came to be recognized as ships built for speed rather than cargo space; while traditional merchant ships were accustomed to average speeds of under 5 knots (9 km/h), clippers aimed at 9 knots (17 km/h) or better.
		Decline in the use of clippers started with the economic slump of 1855 and continued with the gradual introduction of the steamship.

	Clipper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clippers, outrunning the British blockade of Baltimore, came to be recognized as ships built for speed rather than cargo space; while traditional merchant ships were accustomed to average speeds of under 5 knots (9 km/h), clippers aimed at 9 knots (17 km/h) or better.
		Decline in the use of clippers started with the economic slump following the Panic of 1857 and continued with the gradual introduction of the steamship.
		Other surviving examples of clipper ships of the era are not as well preserved, for example the City of Adelaide (aka S.V. Carrick)[1].
