About: Scottish Maid

An Entity of Type: Clipper, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Scottish Maid was a Scottish packet boat, a two-masted wooden schooner, built at Alexander Hall and Sons' boatyard in 1839 for the Aberdeen Line. She has been described as the first clipper vessel to be built in Britain. Her design of sharp, forward-raked bow, later called the "clipper bow" or Aberdeen bow, pioneered a succession of larger clipper ships with many also built in Aberdeen on Scotland's northeast coast.

  • Die Scottish Maid, ein Marssegelklipperschoner (2 m), lief am 15. Juli 1839 in Aberdeen, Schottland, im Auftrag eines Reederei-Konsortiums unter der Leitung von Alexander Nicol und George Munro, Aberdeen vom Stapel. Ihr Längen-Breiten-Verhältnis lag bei „4,7:1“, was dem eines Mediumklippers entspricht. William Hall entwickelte die Rumpflinien empirisch an einem Modell im Schlepptank. Das Schiff hatte einen leicht konvexen, sogenannten Aberdeenbug. Der Klipper-Schoner wurde als schneller Frachtsegler für die Fahrt zwischen Aberdeen bzw. Leith und London (33 Stunden) in Konkurrenz zu Liniendampfern eingesetzt. Die Scottish Maid wird von einigen Experten als direkter Klippervorläufer (wie Ann McKim, Rainbow) bezeichnet (John Lyman, 'The „Scottish Maid“ as the World's First Clipper', 1944) und gilt als erster britischer Klipper, sie war jedoch trotz der äußerlichen Ähnlichkeit kein echter Baltimoreklipper - leichte, extrem wendige, teilweise mit Kanonen bestückte zweimastige Fracht- und Kriegsschiffe, Blockadebrecher, besonders nach 1818 auch Postschiffe etc. mit sehr flach gehaltenem Bugspriet, meist konvexem Bug, hohen Masten und scharfen Linien. Sie wurden vorwiegend in der Zeit von 1795 bis 1825 gebaut. In Bezug auf Schiffslinie, Takelung und Einsatzzweck waren die Klipper aus Baltimore keine echten Klipper. Die Scottish Maid fuhr ca. 50 Jahre, bis sie um 1880 strandete und verloren ging. (de)
  • Scottish Maid was a Scottish packet boat, a two-masted wooden schooner, built at Alexander Hall and Sons' boatyard in 1839 for the Aberdeen Line. She has been described as the first clipper vessel to be built in Britain. Her design of sharp, forward-raked bow, later called the "clipper bow" or Aberdeen bow, pioneered a succession of larger clipper ships with many also built in Aberdeen on Scotland's northeast coast. Scottish Maid was designed to take advantage of a deficiency in Britain's tonnage laws of 1836 so that her officially measured tonnage, and hence tax payable, was low compared with her load carrying capacity. As her designers anticipated, her shape of hull produced a fast vessel and to optimise this her bow (pointed front) was given an innovative shape to cut through the water cleanly – a profile that turned out to be particularly successful. The extreme clipper ships later in the 19th century had substantially larger hulls though they were somewhat similar in shape. The word "clipper" was first used for sailing vessels in the United States and argument arose in the 20th century about whether Scottish Maid's underlying design had been copied from America, and whether she should properly have been called a clipper at all. It now seems agreed that "clipper" is best regarded as simply a name for a fast merchant sailing vessel and the particular design was arrived at independently on the two sides of the Atlantic. (en)
