This coastwise schooner, built sometime between
1890 and 1910, came ashore in the late teens or early twenties of the last
century. She was
157 feet long
, with a beam of 30 feet and had 3 or 4 masts. The schooner was
used for bulk cargo, most likely carrying timber and turpentine. This
wreck has endured the constant pounding of the Atlantic and this is all
that remains. Today, as one of the largest visible and accessible old
wrecks of the Graveyard, she remains as a constant reminder of the
power of the ocean
and the vulnerability of man at sea. The ocean and sand is constantly
covering and uncovering this wreck, so it may look different from day
to day.
