Depicted in various engravings, including the New Thames Yacht Match and the Annual Schooner Race of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, the Flying Cloud's sleek silhouette against the horizon is a sight to behold. Whether loading at her New York dock or rounding the Mouse Light-Ship, this historic vessel continues to inspire awe and admiration, much like the enchanting, free-flowing clouds in the sky above.
