The clipper ship Golden State was built in New York in 1852 and, as its name suggests, plied the seas around Cape Horn to California when overland travel across the North American continent was still unreliable and before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 made it no longer necessary to take such an extensive southern detour. The skyline of New York, as seen from New Jersey, is delineated in the background. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
