Ambassador is a United Kingdom tea clipper built in 1869.
William Walker built Ambassador at Lavender Dry Dock in London.
Though considered a fast ship, Ambassador was said to be "very cranky and overmasted".
[2] Her first passage to the UK from Fuzhou came during the Tea Race of 1870 under Captain Duggan and took 115 days, a mediocre performance; that same year the fastest tea passage, also from Fuzhou, was made by the clipper Lahloo in just 98 days.
Ambassador's fastest passage between China and England was 108 days, in 1872.
