Donald McKay (September 4, 1810 – September 20, 1880) was a Canadian-born American designer and builder of sailing ships. He was born in Jordan Falls, Shelburne County on Nova Scotia's South Shore. In 1826 he moved to New York, working for shipbuilders Brown & Bell and Isaac Webb.〔McCutchan, Philip ''Tall Ships The Golden Age of Sail'' London Book Club Associates 1976 p.37〕 In 1841, he opened his first yard in Newburyport and moved to East Boston in 1845, building substantial packet ships for the Atlantic emigrant route. McKay later designed and built some of the most successful clippers ever built. His house in East Boston is on the National Register of Historic Places. He was the great-grandfather of the American actor, author, and artist Gardner McKay (1932–2001). ==McKay's clippers== * 1842 ''Courier'', early clipper trading ship, 380 tons OM * 1849 ''Helicon'', extreme clipper barque, 400 tons OM * 1849 ''Reindeer'', extreme clipper trading ship, 800 tons OM * 1850 ''Moses Wheeler'', extreme clipper trading ship, 900 tons OM * 1850 ''Sultana'', extreme clipper barque, 400 tons OM * 1850 ''Stag Hound'', Extreme Clipper, 1534 tons OM (first large or true clipper ship built by Donald McKay) * 1851 ''Flying Cloud'', extreme clipper, 1782 tons OM * 1851 ''Staffordshire'', extreme clipper, 1817 tons OM * 1851 ''North America'', extreme clipper, 1464 tons OM * 1851 ''Flying Fish'', extreme clipper, 1505 tons OM * 1852 ''Sovereign of the Seas'', extreme clipper, 2421 tons OM * 1852 ''Westward Ho!'', extreme clipper, 1650 tons OM * 1852 ''Bald Eagle'', extreme clipper, 1704 tons OM * 1853 ''Empress of the Seas'', extreme clipper, 2200 tons OM * 1853 ''Star of Empire'', extreme clipper, 2050 tons OM * 1853 ''Chariot of Fame'', extreme clipper, 2050 tons OM * 1853 ''Great Republic'', extreme clipper barque, 4555 tons OM (largest clipper ship ever built) * 1853 ''Romance of the Sea'', extreme clipper, 1782 tons OM * 1854 ''Lightning'', extreme clipper, 2083 tons OM * 1854 ''Champion of the Seas'', extreme clipper, 2447 tons OM * 1854 ''James Baines'', extreme clipper, 2525 tons OM * 1854 ''Blanche Moore'', extreme clipper, 1787 tons OM * 1854 ''Santa Claus'', medium clipper, 1256 tons OM * 1854 ''Commodore Perry'', medium clipper, 1964 tons OM * 1854 ''Japan'', medium clipper, 1964 tons OM * 1855 ''Donald McKay'', extreme clipper, 2594 tons OM (last extreme clipper ship built by Donald McKay) * 1855 ''Zephyr'', medium clipper, 1184 tons OM * 1855 ''Defender'', medium clipper, 1413 tons OM * 1856 ''Henry Hill'', medium clipper barque, 568 tons OM * 1856 ''Mastiff'', medium clipper, 1030 tons OM * 1856 ''Minnehaha'', medium clipper, 1695 tons OM * 1856 ''Amos Lawrence'', medium clipper, 1396 tons OM * 1856 ''Abbott Lawrence'', medium clipper, 1497 tons OM * 1856 ''Baltic'', medium clipper, 1372 tons OM * 1856 ''Adriatic'', medium clipper, 1327 tons OM * 1858 ''Alhambra'', medium clipper, 1097 tons OM * 1867 ''Helen Morris'', medium clipper, 1285 tons OM * 1869 ''Glory of the Seas'', medium clipper, 2102 tons OM 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donald McKay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
