Sunny South (clipper)

Sunny South, an extreme clipper, was the only full-sized sailing ship built by George Steers, and resembled his famous sailing yacht America, with long sharp entrance lines and a slightly concave bow. Initially, she sailed in the California and Brazil trades. Sold in 1859 and renamed Emanuela (or Manuela)^[1], she was considered to be the fastest slaver sailing out of Havana.^[4] As Emanuela, she was captured off the coast of Africa in 1860 with over 800 slaves aboard^[5], taken as a prize, and converted into a Royal Navy store ship, Enchantress.^[1]
