Rare Henning Ocean Wharf Crewel Embroidery Kit Clipper Ship

 During the 1800's, the goods for trade were carried largely by the clipper ships; long, graceful square rigged andfast. With their cargoes of tea, perfumes, spices, fabric, precious stones andmetals, exotic produce, and sometimes humans, they "clipped" thewave tops as they plied the seas from America toEurope, Aftric, tropical andlands and the Orient. This long out of production design for the crewel embroidery enthusiast by artists Carol & Don Henning shows a typical wharf with a forest of masts and yards during the tedious and back breaking loading of cargo.
