Glory of the Seas was the last clipper built by legendary shipbuilder Donald McKay. This is a delightful look at ships in the Cape Horn trade in the 19th century and at the life of a master of a crack clipper ship in the last days of the Age of Sail.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful story of a talented sea Captain.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clipper Ship Captain: Daniel McLaughlin and the Glory of the Seas (Pacific Maritime History Series) (Hardcover)
The research by Michael Jay Mjelde made this book possible. The Captain, Daniel McLaughlin, managed to make 42 trips around the Horn without serious incident. The Captain is my great-grandfather on my mother's side and came from the island of Gran Manan in the bay of Fundy. I would love to hear from others who have read the book.
