Lord of the Isles (clipper)
The ''Lord of the Isles'' was the first iron-hulled tea clipper, built in Greenock in 1853. She served in the tea trade until 1862, and also made voyages to Australia.〔〔
〕 She is known for a record passage between Greenock and Shanghai, and for her close finish in the 1856 Tea Race from China to England, docking in London just ten minutes before the ''Maury''. This race was the basis for the plot of a 1927 movie by Cecil B. DeMille ''The Yankee Clipper''.
==Construction==
The construction of ''Lord of the Isles'' was considered to be ahead of her time. Her hull was built entirely of iron. She had a higher proportion of beam to length for the vessels of that decade, with a ratio of 6:4. Her ends were so fine that she earned the nickname "The Diving Bell", as her well-known skipper Capt. Peter Maxton said she would dive into one side of a sea and out at the other.〔
