''Champion of the Seas'' was the second largest clipper ship destined for the Liverpool, England - Melbourne, Australia passenger service. ''Champion'' was ordered by James Baines of the Black Ball Line from Donald McKay. She was launched 19 April 1854 and was abandoned 3 January 1877, off Cape Horn.
''Champion of the Seas'' set a record for the fastest day's run in 24 hours: noon to noon 10–11 December 1854 under the command of Captain Alexander Newlands. This record stood until August 1984, nearly 130 years.
==Construction==
''Champion of the Seas'' was "fuller aft than forward", and her strength of construction was an improvement over the ''Lightning'', which Mackay had built the previous year. The frame was white oak, diagonally cross-braced with iron, planking and ceiling of hard pine, square fastened throughout.〔 She had 3 decks.〔 Her sail area and spars were roughly the same as ''Lightning.'' Her working suit of sails required 12,500 yards of cotton, 18 inches wide.
Upon completion, ''Champion of the Seas'' was towed from Boston to New York by the steam tug ''R.B. Forbes''.〔
〕〔

''Champion of the Seass figurehead was the full figure of a sailor "with his hat in his right hand, and left hand extended ... It was certainly a most striking figurehead, the tall square-built mariner, with dark curly hair and bronze clean-shaven face."〔
〕 Her semi-elliptical stern was ornamented with the coat of arms of Australia. She was painted black on the outside, white on the inside, with blue waterways: the colors of the Black Ball Line.
