1937. Outward bound for Bermuda, clippers old and new pass at sea

A remarkable contrast in transprotation was afforded in september 1937, off St. David's Head, when the full-rigged ship Seven Seas was overtaken by the Bermuda Clipper, giant Sikorsky plane of the Pan American Airways. The latter reached Port Washington, New York, five hours later; the Seven Seas arrived off Newport, Rhode Island, in seven days.
