UX220 20c American Clipper Ship, yellow, magenta, cyan and black,
lithographed. More than a century after being disabled by a hurricane off the Bermuda coast, the
clipper ship Great Republic set sail once again as the subject of the U.S. Postal Service's
new American Clipper Ships postal card.
The 20-cent postal card was issued September 3, 1993 in Hunt Valley, MD, in conjunction with the BALPEX stamp show. The design of the card features the "sailing card" of the clipper ship Great Republic from the G.W. Blunt White Library Manuscript Collection at Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut.
The Great Republic was designed and built by Donald McKay, who also built the clipper ship Flying Cloud, featured on a 1985 U.S. postal card. Launched October 4, 1853, the Great Republic was considered to be the largest ship in the world at that time, and the largest wooden ship ever built. Only two months after being launched, the ship caught fire in New York while loading for Liverpool, England, and the remains were sold by the ship's underwriters.
The Great Republic was rebuilt at Greenspoint, Long Island, NY, and in February, 1855, sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days. The four-masted clipper was re-rigged as a three-masted ship in the early 1860s before being sold and renamed the Denmark. In 1872, the ship sprang a leak in a hurricane while en route from Rio de Janeiro to St. John, Canada, and was abandoned with 15 feet of water in the hold. Designed by Richard D. Sheaff.
