Panel #13. Emigrants to California arrived by ship as well as by land. The quickest route from the East Cost to the West was a combination of both. Travelers sailed down the Atlantic to Nicaragua or Panama crossed overland, and sailed up the Pacific to California. Others sailed the entire way via Cape Horn. Many of the faster clipper ships made the voyage around the Horn in under 100 days. This panel depicts the first Caucasian women to arrive in San Francisco. (text from a plaque on the wall)
