Historia

Notas históricas

In November 1912 this four-masted lumber schooner under Captain Hellquist was wrecked at Barrier Island BC Canada. Her deck load of lumber was so huge that the strain opened her seams and this vessel broke her back. Her sails were blown away and even jettisoning her cargo could not save her. The spanker boom fell crushing the lifeboat leaving the crew only one small dinghy.

Propietarios y capitanes

In 1912 she was owned by E.K. Wood Lumber Co., Bellingham WA USA.
