Iningi labantu licabanga ukuthi ukuza kwemikhumbi ye-steam ekhulwini le-19 kubonakaliswe ukuphela kwemikhumbi ephezulu ye-clipper ngoba bebasheshe. Eqinisweni indaba yinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kunalokho. Sekuyiminyaka eminingi, ama-clippers esheshayo kunama-steamships okuqala - ayebizwa ngokuthi ama-clippers ngoba ayengakwazi ukundiza olwandle yonkana "esikrinini" esikhulu kangaka.
Kwakungokuvulwa komsele waseSuez owaholela ekupheleni kokuhweba itiye emikhumbi emikhulu ye-clipper. IMedithera yayingakafaneli ngempela imikhumbi emikhulu.
