	Flying Cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Flying Cloud of 1851 was the most famous of the extreme clippers built by Donald McKay in East Boston, Massachusetts.
		The Flying Cloud was purchased at launching by Grinell, Minturn and Co, New York, for $90,000.
		On June 19, 1874 the Flying Cloud went ashore on the Beacon Island bar, St John's, Newfoundland and was condemned and sold.

	Later Voyages of the Flying Cloud
		Captain Reynard took the Flying Cloud flying on down the Atlantic, but soon it was discovered that her bowsprit was badly sprung and the ship was not deemed to be shipshape in several other areas as well.
		The Flying Cloud was eventually sold to a British firm who sent her sailing off to London on December 8, 1859, with Captain Windsor in command, and she made the New York to London passage with shortened spars in 17 days.
		The Flying Cloud still proved to be a very fast ship in Australian waters, where on another occasion she averaged almost 16 knots during one four day run along the Australian coast even though the Sunda had beaten the Flying Cloud by 18 miles in that contest.

	First Voyage of the Flying Cloud
		The Flying Cloud was but three days out flying a full array of canvas on a bright sunny gusty afternoon on her dash west-south-west out into the North Atlantic to the 40th parallel.
		As the Flying Cloud entered into the horse latitudes, Creesy discovered that the toppling main gallant mast had split the lower mast where they were joined at the hounds and weakened the entire structure.
		Once past the treacherous sandbanks of the cape, the Flying Cloud caught the light easterly winds to the south, free at last to find her wings as Creesy piled on the canvas, all the while keeping a sharp eye to the weather as they sailed on down the South American coast.

	Flying Cloud Clipper ship
		In 1851, however, a clipper called the Flying Cloud made the same journey in only 89 days, a headline-grabbing world record that the Cloud itself beat three years later (and that would not then be broken until 1989).
		Josiah died in 1871, Flying Cloud burned to the waterline in 1874, and Eleanor lived far from the sea until her death in 1900.
		Though spotty in its documentation and full of invented dialog, Flying Cloud is a spirited and capable reconstruction of the clipper's voyage, and an interesting glimpse into the days of the tall ships.

		On April 28, 1853, the extreme clipper ship Flying Cloud, 225 feet on deck, under the command of Capt. Josiah Creesy, with his wife, Eleanor, acting as navigator, departed Sandy Hook Light Ship, bound for San Francisco, around the Horn.
