The New York to San Francisco sailing record celebrates the route taken by great clipper ships during the California gold rush. It starts in New York City, goes down South America, around Cape Horn and then back up the West Coast to San Francisco. The record of 89 days and 8 hours was set by the Flying Cloud in 1854 and not broken until 1989.
