    Good artwork. I like it. :-)

    FWIW the Young America was a clipper ship which lookd quite a bit different to the one portrayed on the cover :

    It was also the name of no less than 3 unuccessful America’s Cup yachts.

    Among other things.

    The interestingly named Oliver Optic trusn out to be the pen name of William Taylor Adams (1822- 1897) “.. a noted academic, author, and a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.” :
