Built for speed in the shipyards at Salcombe and Kingsbridge, these small, fine-lined vessels raced home to the fruit markets of London, Bristol, Liverpool and Hull with cargoes of highly perishable fruit, notably oranges from the Azores, dried fruit from the Mediterranean and pineapples from the Bahamas.
