Westward Ho! (clipper)
''Westward Ho!'' was an 1852 extreme clipper which made two very fast passages to San Francisco, 100 days from Boston and New York. She had a very close race with ''Neptune's Car'', and ended her days in the coolie trade.
== Construction ==
''Westward Ho!'' had long, very sharp ends, with concave lines. Her frame was of white oak, and planking of hard pine. She was copper fastened, with yellow metal sheathing. The hull was painted black, the inside buff relieved with white, the waterways blue.
The finish work below decks was quite fancy, with rosewood, mahogany, carvings, gold ornamentation, and paneled mirrors. Some of the cabins had stained glass windows with Venetian blinds. The figurehead was a Native American warrior giving chase.〔
