The ''N.B. Palmer'' was a clipper ship owned by A.A. Low & Brother which was active in the China trade. One report states that the ''N.B. Palmer'' was "the first clipper ship out of New York to China." In 1858–1859 the ''N.B. Palmer'', with her 28-year-old Captain Hingham tied the record of 82 days for the Shanghai to New York run.〔 〕 ''N.B. Palmer'' was named after explorer, sailing captain, and ship designer Nathaniel Palmer. Along with the ''Sweepstakes'', she was perhaps the most famous clipper built in New York's Westervelt yard. In China ''N.B. Palmer'' was known as "the Yacht", and with her nettings in the tops, brass guns, gold stripe, and her lavish entertainment on the Fourth of July and Washington's Birthday, she well deserved the title. A full-rigged model of the ''N.B. Palmer'' was exhibited at The Crystal Palace, London, in 1851, and attracted much attention as a fine example of the American clipper ship.〔''The clipper ship era: an epitome of famous American and British clipper ships, their owners, builders, commanders, and crews, 1843–1869 (1910)'' by Arthur Hamilton Clark, page 162, ISBN 978-0-548-09581-2.〕 ==See also== * Nathaniel Palmer * Jacob Aaron Westervelt * A.A.
