The Remains of the Medium Clipper Glory of the Seas.

The following may be old news to the Americans, but the latest issue of Sea Breezes mentions that an unusual low tide on July 1 uncovered the remains of a wooden ship a Brace Point, West Seattle. It was later concluded that it was the remains of the medium clipper Glory of the Seas which was burnt for her metal on May 13, 1923. The Glory of the Seas, which was built at East Boston in 1869, was the last of a long line of clipper ships designed and built by the famous shipbuilder Donald McKay.
