C.A. Thayer, Historic schooner at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, US
The C.A. Thayer measures 66.60 meters in length and represents a traditional wooden shipbuilding design from the late 19th century Pacific Coast.
Built in 1895 by Danish shipwright Hans D. Bendixsen, this vessel transported lumber from Washington to San Francisco until 1912, then carried fishing supplies to Alaska.
The schooner illustrates the maritime commerce evolution, from lumber transportation to cod fishing operations, reflecting the Pacific Coast's economic development.
Visitors can explore the vessel at Hyde Street Pier through guided tours provided by the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park staff.
The vessel carried up to thirty crew members during its cod fishing period, with fishermen launching their dories at 4:30 AM to catch hundreds of fish.
