I am glad that I stumbled on to this. Very nice work, Glen. I like the detailing with the hull planking. You've really got to know and love your subject to undertake this!
If I recall, Baltimore Clippers (that is sort of what this is?) were among the fastest and handiest ships of their era. They could sail closer to the wind than just about anything and with the flexibility in their rigging could run quickly even with the wind from straight aft.
Really impressive.
