From the state archives description: "The arrival and public display of the Clipper America - first of the Boeing 377-type clippers - at Miami, Florida, was an important event in the history of aviation. Christened in Washington, D.C., by Margaret Truman, daughter of then President Harry S. Truman, the aircraft was brought to Miami on March 8, 1949. It remained on display for two days, during which time thousands flocked to inspect the huge, four-engine, double-decked clipper."

This Stratocruiser, c/n 15923, was later renamed "Clipper Golden Gate" and flew for Pan American from 1949 until 1958 when it was lost on landing at Manila, Philippines.
