The Game Cock was a clipper ship known for its long sailing life of 29 years and 2 months.[1] Its principal route was the New York to San Francisco run.

Construction

A game cock with neck extended served as the ship's figurehead. Game Cock was considered either a medium or extreme clipper.[2] Its materials were similar to the Surprise.[3]

Voyages

Game Cock sailed between New York City and San Francisco. The ship put in for repairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1851, and made voyages to Bombay in 1851, and Batavia in 1859.[2]
