One of Lylkes Lines' "Clipper Class" ships, which were built for trans-Pacific service. Those large, fast ships represented the pinnacle of break-bulk cargo ship development prior to the "container revolution". Like all Lykes cargo ships they were built to carry everything, including eight paying passengers.
