Governor Stone, Historical schooner museum in Panama City, United States

The Governor Stone is a two-masted sailing vessel built in 1877 that is preserved as a museum ship in Panama City. The boat features a shallow keel and narrow design created to navigate through coastal waters and was originally built to work in shallow harbors along the Gulf.

The vessel was built in 1877 and first worked as a cargo boat for larger ships in shallow harbors before being converted into an oyster boat. Later it served as a training vessel for sailing students until Hurricane Michael caused significant damage in 2018.

The schooner is named for John Marshall Stone, Mississippi's governor when she was built in 1877; French sources call him a friend of first owner Charles Greiner. Renamed Queen of the Fleet in 1940, she carried tourists on excursions at DeLisle, Mississippi, and in 1942 was leased as a training ship for Merchant Marine cadets at Biloxi.

Visitors typically find the vessel at St Andrews Marina in the harbor where it can be viewed from outside. Once restoration is completed, boarding tours will allow people to see the interior structure and working space of this historic boat.

The Governor Stone is one of only five surviving US-built two-masted coasting schooners. Its name honours John Marshall Stone, Mississippi's first governor elected after the Civil War and a friend of its first owner, the merchant Charles Greiner.
