Product detailed description

The Stag Hound is a famous sailing ship built by Donald McKay, a famous Scottish-American sailboat builder active in the 19th century. The Stag Hound was a clipper, a fast sailing ship known for its speed and elegance.
Construction of the Stag Hound was completed in 1850. This sailing ship was considered one of the fastest sailing ships of its time and became part of the famous fleet of clippers built by Donald McKay. Clippers were designed to be as fast as possible when sailing on the open sea, which was important at a time when they were competing for speed records and trade routes.
She eventually burned in 1861 when a fire broke out on board during a voyage from Brazil to England.
