==Trivia==<br />
* A '''clipper''' refers to a category of merchant sailing vessels from the mid-19th century, specifically engineered for speed. These vessels were typically narrow relative to their length, smaller compared to the standards of the later 19th century, capable of transporting limited bulk cargo, and featured a substantial total sail area.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper Wikipedia: Clipper]</ref><br />
