Sea travelers heading to California typically took the route around Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America or, during the Gold Rush era, some opted for the Panama route. The Cape Horn route involved navigating the treacherous waters of the Drake Passage and then sailing north along the Pacific coast. The Panama route entailed traveling to the Isthmus of Panama, crossing overland, and then sailing up the west coast to California. Both routes were long and challenging, reflecting the immense effort and risk taken by those seeking fortune.
