Embark on a thrilling journey aboard the Eamont, an opium clipper crafted in Cowes and immortalized in Captain Lindsay Andersons 1891 book, A Cruise in an Opium Clipper. This remarkable vessel played a pivotal role in opening Japan to foreign trade in 1858, serving as a daring dispatch boat between Nagasaki and Shanghai. The Eamont was not only one of the first ships to establish trade with Formosa but also undertook perilous missions, including a courageous survey of the port of Taku, where she braved treacherous reefs and formidable surf. Amidst the chaos of a typhoon and attacks from armed natives, the Eamonts captain, a renowned fighter feared by Chinese pirates, proved his mettle in the face of danger. Additionally, the Eamont was instrumental in negotiating the first commercial treaty with Japan.
