Chrysolite
Ship: 1129 Tons
Captain: D McIntyre
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr. Cooksedge
Sailed London April 15th 1861 - arrived Lyttelton July 27th 1861
We perhaps do not always remember what
an important part the United States played in the evolution of the clipper ship. In the
early sixties the fastest ships were almost without exception built in the States, and it
was only after the British builders had learned the lessons of the daring American
designers, and applied what they had learned to building in iron instead of wood, that
Britain again won supremacy at sea. Some of these American wooden ships were very
beautiful craft, and they were almost invariably fast. Such a one was the Chrystolite,
1129 tons, which made a number of voyages to the colonies under Captain D McIntyre, a
popular master. In 1861 she arrived off Lyttelton Heads when only 74 days out from London,
a passage that was at that time marvellously fast.
