		Euterpe made four more relative uneventful voyages to India, then, in 1867, was sold, first to David Brown of London to be used in the India and South America trade, but then again in 1871 to Shaw, Savill & Company[?] of London.
		She was registered in the United States on October 30, 1900, and then in 1901, she was sold to the Alaska Packers' Association[?] of San Francisco, who re-rigged her as a barque and operated her in the salmon cannery industry.

		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		Before mechanisation, merchant ships always used sail, but as long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram or to fight hand-to-hand, galleys dominated in marine conflicts because of their maneuverability and speed.
		Some warships and a few modern cruise ships have also use steam turbines to improve the efficiency of gas turbines in a combined cycle, where waste heat from a gas turbine is used to create steam for driving a steam turbine.

		The Euterpe, as the Star of India, has been restored and is the showpiece of the Maritime Museum at San Diego U.S.A. She now has a full set of working sails.
		It is an extraordinary phenomenon that of all the many thousands of sailing ships under the British flag one hundred years ago, only seven have been identifiable from the wreckage to be chosen to represent for ever that vast fleet, carefully restored as museums, of’ which three are in the USA.
		John Willis’s Cutty Sark and Walter Savill’s Euterpe are probably the two whose performances were most in contrast, but both served equally usefully and arrived at the extremes of the laws of survival, with the result that they now share the honour of preservation as fitting representatives of their kind.

		The original ship, The Euterpe, named for a Greek goddess, was built in the shipyard at Ramsey in the Isle of Man, England in 1863.

		One would expect deaths on a battle sailing ship, (such as The USS Constellation), but I was a little surprised to read that working on a merchant sailing ship unfortunately also wasn't without risks, serious illness or accidents, which does make sense after thinking about it.

	Book Review
		Arnold gives a two-sided picture of life aboard Euterpe, as the vessel was then known, during the 1870s and 1880s when it ferried emigrants from England to New Zealand.
		Neither a hell ship nor a fleet greyhound of the seas, Euterpe had a history far less romantic than some, but as she plodded along voyage after voyage she represented the mainstream of merchant sail better than more famous — or infamous — contemporaries.
		When Arnold address that on which he is truly expert, maritime history and ships, he is clear, helpful, and sound.
