	Clipper Summary
		Although 100-ft longer than the original clipper ships, and equipped with the latest in seafaring technology as well as an engine, these new clippers are outfitted with 36,000 sq ft of barkentine rig sails which give the 160 passengers the true experience of a tall sailing ship with all the amenities of a yacht.
		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, 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.

		The Tower of London is a dominating landmark in central Londonâ”in the London Borough of Tower Hamletsâ” on the eastern border of the City of London, beside the northern bank of the River Thames.
		This supposed Roman origin is, however a myth, as is the story that the mortar used in its construction was tempered by the blood of beasts.
		Between the river and the Tower is Tower Wharf, a freely accessible walkway with excellent views of the river, tower and bridge, together with HMS Belfast and London City Hall on the opposite bank.
