Snow Squall (clipper)

Snow Squall was an extreme wooden American clipper ship built in Maine for the China trade.

A large part of her bow was preserved and is the sole remaining example of the American-built clipper ships.

She was launched by Cornelius Butler at Turner's Island, Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

On 1 March 1864, while carrying gunpowder among other cargo from New York to San Francisco, Snow Squall ran aground in the Straits of Le Marie in South America.

[3] She was delivered to Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where she was discharged of her cargo and found damaged beyond repair.
