CC-R-0143.T.jpg

Tinted lithograph of the starboard-side view of the clipper ship 'Spendthrift.' She carried cargoes of tea from Shanghai and Foochow, China to London. She was a notably speedy vessel; she won the Great Ocean Race (or the Tea Race of 1868) with the record of 95 days and 1 hour. In the print, she is off the shore of a hilly shoreline visible on the right side.
