Wyoming (schooner)

Cargo and Merchant Vessels

Wyoming was a six masted wooden schooner built in 1909 at the Percy and Small Shipyard in Bath, Maine, for the American coastal and coal trades. At roughly 450 feet in overall length she is remembered as the largest wooden sailing ship ever built, a scale that pushed wooden hull construction to close to its practical limit before steel and steam displaced sail on American coastal shipping.
