Abstract:

The North Carolina Shipbuilding Company of Wilmington gave ships it built historic vessel names. The C2 class cargo ships were very dissimilar to mid-19th-century clipper ships to which were being remembered. C2s represented modern, large steel cargo ships whereas clipper ships embodied the epitome of wooden sailing vessel design.
