Snow Squall

Episode 172 takes us back to our Big A** Trip and what we learned from having our “boots on the ground.” For this podcast, we talk about the surviving remnants of an American-built extreme clipper ship, the Snow Squall. Clippers were cargo ships built for speed over capacity, and extreme clipper ships were especially fast, though their construction era in America was relatively short (1845 to 1855).

There is one surviving piece of an American extreme clipper, and the Maine Maritime Museum has that piece of the Snow Squall contained in its own building on the edge of its beautiful campus. We explain why we think they did this.

We also talk about our current projects (Space Epic, Zoey, BAT Book) and easing into retirement.

Have a listen and let us know what you think. TIA LYL!
