Perhaps nothing stirs the spirit so much as the romantic era of the Great Clipper Ships. Today, a new name proudly carries on the tradition of the tall ships with two new sailing vessels -- the first passenger sailing vessels to be classified by Lloyds since the early 1900's. Star Flyer and Star Clipper are true sailing ships worthy of the clipper heritage.
