Sir Launcelot

Catalog Code: 
JS- 410
Description: 

Unusual name for a clipper ship, and misspelled: should be "Sir Lancelot", not "Sir Launcelot".  Sir Lancelot was a clipper ship which sailed in the China trade and the India-Mauritius trade.  Built in 1865 by Robert Steele & Company, Greenock, Sir Lancelot was "a beautiful tea clipper" called the Yacht of the Indian Ocean.  I enjoyed assembling this puzzle because of the rigging.  Artist is J. W. Schmidt who painted marine scenes, among other subjects.  Interlocking puzzle from Joseph Straus Products Corp.
