	Clipper Ship Information
		Although somewhat obscure in origin, the Baltimore clipper was probably a natural development of the known principles of fast-sailing-ship design popular in England in the 16th century.
		Baltimore clippers were first referred to as Virginia built, and, because they were used as pilot boats in Norfolk, Virginia, they were also referred to as pilot boat construction.
		Because the Baltimore clipper was not primarily designed for cargo carrying, little more than the name survived in the famous clipper ships of American transocean trade of the 1840s and 1850s, although the ship long remained the basic model for many small, fast-sailing craft, such as fishing schooners, pilot boats, and yachts.

	Martin M-130 "China Clipper" - USA
		Unlike the Sikorsky design, however, the Martin 'China Clipper', as it was to become known, truly possessed the long over-water capability that the airline required.
		By 1940 (Hawaii Clipper having been lost at sea) the surviving pair of M-130s had accumulated some 10,000 flying hours each equal to an average daily utilization of 5 1/2 hours and had flown 12,718,200 passenger miles (20,467,930 passenger-km) in addition to express and mail flights.
		China Clipper was wrecked early in 1945, shortly after the tenth anniversary of its first flight, when it struck an unlit boat during a night landing.

		With concrete runways expensive and rare in the 1930s, Pan Am's Clippers were able to take advantage of the world's free and plentiful oceans as their runways.

	Ships Used
		The ship term “clipper” originated in the United States just after the war of 1812, and was used to describe the Virginia built or pilot boat type vessel because of its clipping speed.
		Coffee and Opium Clippers, however, varied in size and were typically smaller, but maintained the pointy bow shape for speed.
		Although they were the fastest ships on the sea during their time, most American clippers being used for trade also had an impressive amount of cargo space for goods being transported between American and China (mostly tea).
