The Serica was one of the fast and beautiful tea clippers which raced the new season’s teas from China back to the London market. She was designed and built by Robert Steele, and launched at his Greenock shipyard in 1863.
Serica was the first clipper home during her maiden voyage in 1864, and was part of the famous 1866 race, where the first five ships to sail from China arrived in England almost together, 99 days later.
The ship continued to make good passages for another five years, but her luck ran out in November 1872, when she was wrecked in the China Sea, just a day after sailing from Hong Kong.
