Album Info:

This 70-foot, two masted schooner was donated to Mystic Seaport by the duPonts who had used her as a yacht after her career as a blockade runner and a coasting schooner ended. When they hauled her out after 10 years of using her as a dormitory for the sail training program, they saw that the damage to the hull was too extensive to be a candidate for restoration so they now use her as an educational exhibit to show how schooners were constructed.
