Sea Witch - Medium Sea Bag
The Sea Witch
“It was March 25, 1849, and there were no tea clippers due for another two weeks, but there was no denying that there was the Sea Witch, flaunting her coiled dragon figurehead with the pointed tail, back from her third voyage around the world.”
The sleek black tea clipper - the Sea Witch - is guided into New York harbor on the morning of March 25th, bringing with her not only the precious cargo of China teas, but fame and wealth for Captain Robert Waterman and the shipping firm of Howland & Aspinwall. As the news spread like wildfire along the waterfront, the resplendant Sea Witch reveled in the glory of accomplishing the fastest run from China to New York in 75 days.
This illustrious day in 1849 engraved an ocean saga of historical import - heralding the mighty fleet of USS clipper ships and the distinguished Sea Witch, a legend in her time, with her record voyage around the world in 194 sailing days.
