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.
