Florence was an American clipper built in 1877 to transport goods between California and cities along the Atlantic coast.

The Florence was a three-masted clipper, built by Goss & Sawyer in Bath, Maine to carry goods from Atlantic cities to California.

The Florence was launched in October 1877, and left New York on 20 April 1878 for San Francisco, arriving on 4 August as part of her maiden voyage.

The clipper briefly idled, before she was bought by the California Shipping Company to carry lumber from Puget Sound to Honolulu.

It is theorized that the ship foundered with all hands off the coast of Cape Flattery alongside HMS Condor and the steamer Matteawan.
