Governor Stone, Historical schooner museum in Panama City, United States
The Governor Stone, constructed in 1877, measures as a two-masted, gaff-rigged centerboard schooner with shallow draft specifications for coastal navigation.
The vessel started its maritime career transporting cargo from larger ships in shallow Gulf Coast harbors before serving as an oyster boat and later a training vessel.
The Friends of Governor Stone organization maintains this National Historic Landmark vessel as a floating educational center about Gulf Coast maritime traditions.
Following damage from Hurricane Michael in 2018, the schooner undergoes restoration with plans to return to St Andrews Marina for public tours by 2025.
The vessel features a specialized design with apple cheeks and a small keel, allowing navigation through shifting sandbars and coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
