The Last Days of the Schooner America

The Last Days of Schooner America traces the history of the iconic schooner, from her design, build, and early racing career, through her lesser-known Civil War service and the never-before-told story of her final days and moments on the ground at Annapolis. The schooner's story is set against a vivid picture of the entrepreneurial forces behind the fast, focused rise of the warship building at the Annapolis Yacht Yard as the United States prepares for and enters World War II.
