About this title: Through a study of a record-breaking 89-day voyage from New York to San Francisco, the author recreates life aboard a 19th-century clipper ship. He tells of the role of the ship's navigator, Eleanor Creesy--who was married to the captain and who helped chart a safe voyage through dangerous seas and adverse weather conditions. Much of this book is based on primary source material: diaries, letters, and ship's logs.

"The authors style is a little ponderous so it took me awhile to get into this book. I almost didn't continue but am glad I did. It is a very well researched account of the record breaking maiden voyage of the Flying Cloud. The story is centered around the Captain's wife and Navigator and is well worth the read."
