The Colonial Clippers

FOOTNOTES:

A Her first voyage was the one to Mobile.

B The green with which the Aberdeen White Star ships were painted was a composite paint always known as Aberdeen green.

C This passage of Cutty Sark has been wrongly given in my China Clippers. She left London for the second time on 2nd December, not the 12th, as there stated. The mistake was made in the shipping reports of the day and never corrected, and I have only lately been able to prove it.

Transcriber’s Notes:

The original accentuation, spelling, punctuation and hyphenation has been retained, except for apparent printer’s errors.

The name of the ship given as Songdal in the original, in ‘PASSAGES TO AUSTRALIA UNDER 80 DAYS IN 1885.’ see p. 334, has been changed to read Sogndal.
