This clipper appeared in the USA around 1820. It is the last stage in the evolution of the sailing ship and satisfies the demand of the American merchant class, who understood that the future of trade was on the sea. The American builders created a completely new ship, without imitating schemes and models from the old continent, and immediately obtained results that influenced the techniques of shipyards all over the world. The thin and hydrodynamic hull and the large sails made the clipper a very fast boat, so much so that battles between ships soon became frequent.

Flying Cloud, the masterpiece of the builder Donald McKay, is It was built in East Boston in 1851. It acquired an excellent reputation during the 'Gold Rush' in California, making the passage from New York to San Francisco in a record time of 88 days, 22 and a half hours, previously unmatched.< /p>
