39" Long 27" Tall
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 and the hull is coppered below the water line.
$4,900 Without Sails or Furled Sails
Case $400
Table $300
(A few models are displayed with full sails. Because it is impossible for me to make the full sails museum quality, I now only offer models with no sails or furled sails. The price for no sails or furled sails is the same.)
(I will deliver at no charge model, case, and table to anyone within 700 miles of Charlotte, NC. If you wanted to meet me at the 700 mile mark I could coordinate that with you. Outside of that area shipping costs will be $300 for models over $3,000 and $200 for all others.
Cases cannot be shipped due to breakage problems. However, if a case is desired I will ship the model on a base that is prepared for a case and I will arrange for a case to be made for you at the company nearest to your location. [Almost every city has an acrylic company located nearby.]
Tables cost more to ship than they are worth so you would come out better buying something in your area.
