Built in 1865-66 by William Walker & Co.,  Shun Lee was of composite design, a wood construction over an iron frame, measuring 158 feet in length with a 31 1/2 foot beam and featuring long overhangs at bow and stern.  As her name suggests, the clipper was intended for the China tea trade, but after only one trip was sold in 1871 to Potter & Co., London, thereafter she then saw most action in the commercial routes between London and New Zealand.  The Shun Lee was destroyed by fire when stationed in Rio de Janerio in 1891.
