Clippers for the Record by Australian author Marny Matheson recounts the dramatic true story of the legendary clipper Thermopylae, the sleek tea-carrier that out-sailed every rival on the high seas. This concise 161-page history blends maritime adventure with first-hand detail, perfect for young adults or any sailor-at-heart curious about nineteenth-century speed records.

The 1984 paperback is an ex-library copy, laminated and stamped, yet pages remain crisp, tight, and unmarked by dog-ears or tears. A previous owner’s inscription appears on the flyleaf, adding a personal touch for collectors of nautical memorabilia.

Ideal for fans of clipper ships, Australian maritime heritage, or transportation history, this accessible volume slips easily into a sea bag or bookshelf. Secure a slice of sailing lore with Clippers for the Record today.
