Flying Cloud: The True Story of America's Most Famous Clipper Ship and the Woman Who Guided Her Paperback - 2001
by David W. Shaw
Summary
In 1851, Elanor Creesy, in a position almost unheard of for a woman in the mid-nineteenth century, served as the navigator on the maiden voyage of the clipper ship Flying Cloud -- traveling from New York to San Francisco in only eighty-nine days. This swift passage set a world record that went unbroken for more than a century. Upon arrival in San Francisco, Flying Cloud became an enduring symbol of a young nation's frontier spirit. Illustrated with original maps and charts as well as historical photographs, David Shaw's compelling narrative captures the drama of this maritime adventure.
First line
The surf broke steadily on the east side of Sandy Hook, carry sinewy lines of foam and bits of kelp up the hard-packed beach toward the high-water mark.
