The shortest eclipse occurred in 1912 on April 17. It only lasted for 2 seconds because the shadow just barely touched the surface of the Earth. The longest eclipse on record occurred in the year 671 on December 7th. It lasted for 10 minutes and 18 seconds. These are the times that an observer standing on some point would be able to see the eclipse. The total time that the Sun's shadow can travel across the surface of the Earth is measured in hours.
