- The Clipper Ship "Highflyer", 1111 Tons
This ship was built at Blackwall in 1861. Nine years before, the Anglesey had been built and had proved very fast indeed. It is believed therefore, that the success of the latter ship probably influenced the Highflyer's design for, although frigate built, she was given extra fine lines. She was put into the far East Tea Trade, but her performances in speed were not sufficiently good to meet the intense demands of those competitive days. Her passages were averaging 130 days from Shanghai and she was therefore eventually withdrawn. - The "Windsor Castle", 1250 Tons
The Windsor Castle was a fast ship built in Sunderland in 1857. She was very nearly lost when she was dismasted in a storm around the Cape Horn. With the main mast and all its gear and the mizzen top and yard dragging in the water the ship was severely strained and leaked badly. The passengers had to be set to work the pumps for many days until the crew had cut the wreckage away and re-rigged the ship. She eventually reach Rio and after dry docking and a refit and after 269 days reached Gravesend.
