^ No - that was built in the US (I'm a bloody expert now) - I was just about to say I'm going to leave this to Vinny and he appears like a genie - And I've been mistakenly looking at clipper ships which were 10 years old when they got wrecked but now I re-read the clues I see it says "Less than" - I need a rest

I knew McKay built it and it was both a 4 masted barque and three masted after reconstruction. I'm blue faced after looking at "all famous clipper oil paintings"(with yellow hull striping) and can get nothing from 'all clippers built at Wearside.'
