NEW YORK - G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS - LONDON DONALD McKAYMASTER SHIP DESIGNER OF CLIPPER SHIPS - "THE RED JACKET" "SOVERIGN OF THE SEA" "FLYING CLOUD" & MANY MANY MORE.....Master ship designer and builder, Donald McKay, was at the forefront of the clipper ship era establishing speed records that have stood for well over 100 years. McKay emigrated from Canada to the United States at the age of 16 in 1826 to apprentice with Isaac Webb, the father of William Webb (2018 Inductee). After a few short-lived partnerships, McKay founded his own shipyard in East Boston and produced an astounding number of radically designed vessels. The clipper ships were noted for their incredible speed. McKay was versatile and he customized different designs for the specific mission of the vessel he was commissioned to build. For example, his fishing vessels featured flat bottom hulls while deep-sea vessels were narrow for the anticipated steep offshore waves. Donald McKay was considered a genius. BOATS HE BUILT ----DONALD McKAYEast Boston MAMost recent update: May 20, 2016.Donald McKay, a naval architect and shipbuilder of almost legendary status, moved in 1826 from Nova Scotia to New York City, where he worked for Brown & Bell and for Isaac Webb. He started his own yard in Newburyport in 1841 but moved to East Boston in 1845. The yard was located at the foot of Border Street, where General Ship was until fairly recently. I think that the table below is close to complete but it may be that some of the ships listed were designed by McKay but not built by him.
