The iron clipper-ship Cornwallis, a new vessel of the Black Ball line, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The iron clipper-ship Cornwallis, a new vessel of the Black Ball line, 1862. This magnificent new iron clipper ship, which was launched on the 11th ult. from the yard of Messrs. Thomas Vernon and Son, Liverpool, is owned by Messrs. Liston, Young, and Co. merchants...This truly beautiful specimen of naval architecture is attracting great attention from her exquisite model and proportions, combining lightness and elegance of appearance with large capacity for cargo...The lower masts, lower yards, and bowsprit are of iron; there are extra fastenings, and stringers, and treble riveting beyond Lloyds requirements...Wherever it has been possible iron has taken the place of wood; the bulwarks and the hatch-combings are of iron, and in passing it may be mentioned that the hatchways are large enough to admit machinery, such as locomotives, &c...The Cornwallis sails from London shortly as one of the Black Ball Line, with general cargo and passengers for Sydney, New South Wales'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
