Note: Both discovered in the Swansea area, the former from a scrap yard and the painting from a local public house, although any Welsh connections with the clipper are unknown.The Clipper Ship Era by Arthur H. Clark: Clark presents the history of clipper ships from the perspective of a captain. Clark himself commanded thetheand the steamshipsandbetween 1863 and 1877. Clark’s account of clipper history both benefits from and suffers from his perspective asan American ship’s officer.A lot of space is taken up with individuals Clark knew personally. While on the one hand we gain access to personal anecdotes to fill out these men’s lives, we also lose some objectivity. Lots of captains are described as “good men” who are “worthy of every honour.” It’s hard not to come away with the impression that at times Clark is circling the wagons to protect the reputations of men he knows.This skews his perspective when discussing topics like shipboard disciplinary tactics like beatings, whippings, and confinement. His (not entirely unjustified) feelings are displayed clearly.The” skippers,” maties” and” Jackie’s” alike belonged to the lowest stratum of British social classification, which, according to the chronicles of those days, was pretty low. They were coarse, vulgar, ignorant men, full of lurid oaths; their persons emitted an unpleasant odour of cheap rum and stale tobacco; they had a jargon of their own and were so illiterate as to be unable to speak or write their own language with any degree of correctness.
