The age of the clipper ship was brief but spectacular. Although tall ships went out of favor a long time ago, they are still an inspiring sight. Portsmouth resident Captain Charles Quinlan says the clipper was an American specialty and now there are no American clippers left. He heads the Shining Sea Foundation, an organization that he formed to build a new clipper ship for the United States. The Shining Sea Foundation web site is www.shining-sea.org.
