Surprise (clipper)
The ''Surprise'' was a California clipper built in East Boston in 1850. It initially rounded Cape Horn to California, but the vessel's owners, A. A. Low & Brother, soon found that the vessel performed well in Far Eastern waters. From that point onward the vessel spent much of her working life in the China trade, although the vessel also made three trips from the East Coast of the United States to California.
The ''Surprise'' served as a clipper-rigged ship for 17 years, from 1850 until 1867, giving her an exceptionally long working life with this demanding rigging. After her sail plan was cut down in 1867, removing her skysails, she entered a second life as a slower merchant sailing ship from 1867 until her loss in 1876.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Surprise )〕
The ''Surprise'' was a highly profitable vessel for its owners. One historian has asserted that the vessel "was one of the most successful clipper ships ever constructed."〔
