DETAILED MODEL OF THE AMERICANDETAILED MODEL OF THE AMERICAN CLIPPER SHIP LIGHTNING, ...Detailed Model of the American Clipper Ship Lightning, mid to late 19 th Century, a very fine model with tacked planked deck and fitted with gamut of equipment and furnishments including anchors, anchor chains, capstans, deck houses, companionway, binnacle and bollards. Rigged with 3 masts and bowsprit with figurehead, spars, standing and running rigging including mat-lines, chain plates, turning blocks and other details. Displayed in a rectangular glass case on a custom-designed and constructed cherry wood frame.
Notes: Renowned for her beauty, grace and speed, the Lightning set the all-time record for a single day's sail, covering 436 nautical miles in 24 hours. Her builder was the famous Donald McKay of Boston, a follower of John Willis Griffiths and his principles of design. When Lightning was built 1854 in Boston, America's clipper boom was waning, but the Australian gold rush was on, and McKay was building ships for James Baines of the Black Ball Line; Baines needed to transport passengers and cargo to Australia. Lightning was powerfully and heavily constructed to handle the heavy seas and storms. She soon began to set records crossing from New York to Liverpool in just under 14 days. In 1854-55, she made the passage from Melbourne to Liverpool in 65 days, circumnavigating the globe in 5 months, 9 days (including 20 days in port). Lightning served a brief stint as a troop ship, ferrying British soldiers from England to India (in 87 days) to fight the Rebellion of 1857. In 1867 she was bought by Thomas Harrison of Liverpool. Fatefully, early 30 October 1869 Lightning caught fire when fully loaded and ready to sail from Greelong, Australia; attempts to control the blaze were unsuccessful, so the decision was taken to scuttle her by cutting holes on the waterline after towing her out to the shoals in Corio Bay, subsequently known as the "Lightning Shoals."

EARL E. COLLINS O/C MARINE SHIPEARL E. COLLINS O/C MARINE SHIP PAINTING, LIGHTNINGEarl Edward Collins (Connecticut/New York, 1925-1992) oil on canvas maritime painting depicting the clipper ship "Lightning" sailing across tumultuous waters, an American flag flying from the stern, and figures standing on the sail. Signed and titled lower right. Housed in a grey wood frame with a linen mat. Sight: 19 3/4" H x 23 1/2" W. Framed: 26 1/4" H x 30 1/2" W. Note: Built by Donald McKay, the Lightning was the first clipper built in the United States for a British firm. In 1862, while returning to Liverpool, it struck an uncharted rock. No water entered the vessel but, on arrival at Liverpool, a rock 6 feet long was found sticking through its timbers and beginning to work loose. Under Capt. 'Bully' Forbes, the Lightning made its first voyage to Australia in 77 days, and on its return voyage made it in a record 64 days. It had the distinction of carrying, free of charge, early consignments of introduced animals, including rabbits, sent to Thomas Austin of Barwon Park, Winchelsea. The Lightning's entire life was spent on the Australian run carrying immigrants and cargo. The wreck of the Lightning caused by the fire was the worst shipping calamity in local history. A fire that had broken out was discovered at about 1 am. Water was pumped into lower hold in an attempt to douse it but the efforts of local volunteer fire brigades were unsuccessful. The blazing ship was towed away from the Yarra Street Wharf by James Deane's tug Resolute. Attempts to scuttle the vessel by boring holes and cutting the outside planking also failed. The Volunteer Artillery had also been unsuccessful in attempts to sink the vessel to put out the fire. The wreck was finally removed with explosives. The Lightning finally sank at about 6 pm., her location about 200 yards from Wharf in 25 feet of water in the town of Geelong, Australia.
