Flying Cloud was a clipper ship that set the world's sailing record for the fastest passage between New York and San Francisco, 89 days 8 hours. The ship held this record for over 130 years, from 1854 to 1989. Flying Cloud was the most famous of the clippers built by Donald McKay. She was known for her extremely close race with Hornet in 1853; for having a woman navigator, Eleanor Creesy, wife of Josiah Perkins Creesy who skippered Flying Cloud on two record-setting voyages from New York to San Francisco; and for sailing in the Australia and timber trades.

  • Die Flying Cloud war ein 1851 vom Stapel gelaufener Klipper, der als eines der schnellsten Schiffe seiner Zeit galt. Mit einer Reisedauer von 89 Tagen und 8 Stunden hielt der Klipper zwischen 1854 und 1989 mehr als 130 Jahre lang den Rekord für die schnellste Überfahrt von New York nach San Francisco. Bis 1862 fuhr das Schiff unter US-amerikanischer Flagge, anschließend gehörte es einem Eigner in Liverpool. 1874 ging die Flying Cloud durch Schiffbruch verloren und wurde im Jahr darauf niedergebrannt.

  • «Флаинг Клауд» (англ. — «Flying Cloud») — клипер который побил рекорд скорости среди парусных судов на трассе Нью-Йорк — Сан-Франциско вокруг мыса Горн, пройдя это расстояние за 89 дней, и был первым клипером, затратившим на это менее трех месяцев. Вместе с тем, он установил рекорд суточного перехода. (ru)
  • Le Flying Cloud (Nuage Volant) est un navire de charge, grand-voilier et clipper en bois gréé en trois-mâts barque. Il a été en service de 1851 à 1874 sous deux pavillons (États-Unis, Royaume-Uni). Navire de la ruée vers l'or puis de la colonisation de l'Australie, il transporta des candidats à la fortune en Californie via le Cap Horn et des migrants en quête de vie meilleure sur l'île continent, ainsi que diverses cargaisons.

  • De Flying Cloud was een van de hoogtepunten uit de maritieme geschiedenis. De Flying Cloud is een van de grootste meermast-klippers, een van de beroemdste theeklippers, het is een van de snelste (zo niet de snelste) klippers die ooit gebouwd is. Het record werd door de Flying Cloud zelf in 1854 nog verbeterd tot 89 dagen en 8 uur. Daarna was er nog één schip in die tijd sneller (de Andrew Jackson, in 1860, 89 dagen en 4 uur), waarna het record meer dan honderd jaar bleef staan tot een verbetering door een modern schip in 1988.
