During the California Gold Rush, when eggs cost $1 each and a sack of flour sold for $100, competition for trade was fierce.  Great clipper ships, known as California Clippers were built for speed.  The Flying Cloud was built in East Boston in 1851. She sailed from New York to San Francisco in 89 days and 8 hours-- a record that still stands!

This model is plank on frame in full sail including all of the stud sails.  The hull is coppered below the water line.
