"Black Ships" refers to the Western ships that arrived in Japan during the mid-19th century, notably the American naval fleet led by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. These ships were significant because they marked the end of Japan's isolationist policy, known as sakoku, and led to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, which opened Japanese ports to American trade.

There were several riggings of Clipper but the Square Rigged was the fastest and most successful.
