Wyoming

Wyoming was a wooden six-masted schooner completed in 1909 by the firm of Percy & Small in Bath, Maine. With a length of 450 ft from jib-boom tip to spanker boom tip, Wyoming was the largest known wooden ship ever built. The "Wyoming" was the tenth and last of the six-masters. In March 1924 she sailed from Norfolk, Virginia for Saint John, New Brunswick, with a cargo of coal. On March 11, to ride out a nor'easter, she anchored near the Pollock Rip Lightship off Monomoy Island Chatham, Massachusetts. She and her crew of 14 were lost when the ship broke up in the storm.
