1. Around Cape Horn: This is the traditional route that was used before the Panama Canal was built. Ships would travel south along the Pacific coast of the Americas, round Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America, and then travel north along the Atlantic coast of South America to New York. This route is longer and more dangerous than the Panama Canal route, but it is still possible to travel this way.
2. Through the Strait of Magellan: Another option is to travel through the Strait of Magellan, which is located at the southern tip of Chile. This route is also longer and more dangerous than the Panama Canal route, but it is still possible to travel this way.
3. Across the Arctic Ocean: In the summer months, it is possible to travel from Portland to New York by sailing across the Arctic Ocean. This route is the shortest of the three options, but it is also the most dangerous and requires specialized equipment.
