The Down Easters: American Deep-Water Sailing Ships 1869–1929
by Basil Lubbock
Published 1953 by Brown, Son & Ferguson, Ltd., Glasgow.

1953 The Down Easters by Basil Lubbock – American Deep-Water Sailing Ships 1869–1929

This detailed maritime history by Basil Lubbock traces the story of America’s last generation of great sailing ships — vessels known to seafarers as both Down Easters and Cape Horners. Lubbock explores their origins, construction, voyages, and decline, with particular attention to those that made the formidable passage around Cape Horn. The final chapter documents European-built square-riggers that finished their careers under the American flag.
