Mercantile, Museum ship in Camden, United States.
The Mercantile schooner extends 100 feet in length, featuring two masts and traditional gaff-rigged sails designed for coastal navigation and fishing operations.
Built in 1916, the Mercantile operated as a commercial vessel until 1941, playing an essential role in the transportation of goods along the New England coast.
The Mercantile represents maritime engineering excellence through its construction methods, highlighting the craftsmanship of early 20th century American shipbuilding traditions.
Visitors can explore the restored vessel through guided tours that explain navigation techniques, maritime trade operations, and life aboard a working schooner.
The Mercantile remains one of the few preserved wooden schooners from the early 1900s that received National Historic Landmark status in 1991.
