'''''Kosmopoliet I''''' (800 tons) is said to have been one of the first [[Dutch clipper]]s.

==''Kosmopoliet I''==
She was launched on 29 November, 1854 by the shipyard of Cornelis Gips and Sons in [[Dordrecht]], The Netherlands, for the account of the shipping company of Gebr. Blussé (Dordrecht), inspired by a model of a medium-clipper presented in 1852 at an exhibition in Amsterdam by the Dutch lieutenant-commander M.H. Jansen.

The ''Kosmopoliet'' carried both cargo and passengers. She was full-rigged and carried [[royal (sail)|royals]] and [[skysail]]s on all three [[mast (sailing)|mast]]s.

Though a voyage from the Netherlands to [[Java (island)|Java]] (port to port) normally took a 100 days or more, the ''Kosmopoliet'' completed her maiden voyage in 89 days. Later she did the passage in 76, 74 and 77 days.

==''Kosmopoliet II'' and ''Kosmopoliet III''==

In 1865 the ''Kosmopoliet II'' (1200 tons) was launched, followed by ''Kosmopoliet III'' in 1871, which measured 1548 tons.
