        What would that cost back then and in today's dollars?

        A fortune, far beyond the means of ordinary working people. Overseas travel via ship was much more affordable, just a lot slower.

        People got dressed up for just about everything back then - even state fairs and amusement parks! Women in dresses/heels & men in suits/hats

        I am so happy you posted this. I've long been curious about what it was like to travel via clipper ship. Nearly forgotten piece of our past.
