This bark (3-masted) was built in 1877 in Boston, MA.
Historische Notizen
This vessel returned to sail in 1916, being refitted as a barkentine for World War I service under British ownership. The following year this vessel caught fire and sank in Wellington harbor, but was raised and by 1918 was back at sea under her old rig as a bark.
In 1923, again under barkentine rig, this vessel was sunk in a hurricane while on a voyage, coal laden, from Newcastle to Manila. Only one boat, with four men, escaped from the wreckage, making a 23-day voyage of incredible hardship and landing safely in the Philippines, nearly 1,500 miles from the scene of the Amy Turner's sinking.
