What it do baby? Welcome to r/LAClippers. We are a forum dedicated to Clipper ships, a 19th century merchant sailing vessel (quite possibly the coolest ship). Due to a huge spike in interest recently, please follow the guidelines below.

READ THE RULES - They’re located on the sidebar. Any violation will result in an automatic ban - no exceptions.

THE SUB IS RESTRICTED - Everyone can now view the sub, but posts and comments are restricted to approved users only. Today’s threads were overrun with racist and NSFW content - please help us keep this community welcoming to everybody by understanding that type of content will not be approved. We are a small mod team who have worked non-stop today and the entire season, we’re proactive about doing everything we can to make this community enjoyable.

WANT TO BE APPROVED? - You need to use modmail to message us and ask to be approved. Only subscribers with post history here will be approved right now. Soon enough we will loosen these restrictions as time goes by. Please don’t take it personally if any of you content is removed, we are trying to keep things tidy for now, regardless of what’s posted.

To request approved user access, message us here.

Please share all of your best Clipper ship pictures, stories, articles, essays and anything else Clipper related.

Finally, a huge thank you to our community and our subscribers. It has been a great year full of ups and downs. We appreciate all of you.

Best and happy sailing,

r/LAClippers
