I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not but, "The Flying Cloud" was a clipper ship built by Shipwright Donald McKay, She was launched in 1851. Her first voyage she averaged 314 miles per day for 4 days. Among the captains she had were Cpt. Creesy, Cpt. Alexander Winsor. Her crew was made up of 101 men 1 Cpt., 4 mates, 2 Boatswains, 2 Carpenters, 2 Sailmakers, 3 Stewards, 2 cooks, 75 Able seamen, & 10 "boys before the mast" she was burned for whatever metal they could salvage in June of 1875 See the book "The Frigate Constitution & Other Historical Ships" I hope this was useful Charcloth
