Sister to the famous flyer, Swordfish, the Gosport was the last
clipper built in antebellum Virginia. Coming from the yard of
shipbuilders Page & Allen, she started life as a Western Ocean
packet carrying timber, to Europe before returning to New Orleans
with French and German migrants. The clipper's hold would then be
filled with bales of cotton for Liverpool's mills. Ole Virginia
Bound records unwritten tales of the states last clipper and sheds
light upon previously hidden period in America's maritime history.
