    Once the Commodore had gathered resources from selling his prized steamboat routes in the New York Sound, he started focusing on a new enterprise: The California Gold Rush. See many people were traveling to California after 1849, but there were only two ways to get there - trek across America in hostile territory or take a ship around the the tip of South America.
