Alma, Historic schooner at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, United States.
The Alma schooner measures 80 feet in length with a 22.6-foot beam and features a flat-bottomed hull designed for shallow water navigation.
Fred Siemer constructed this schooner in 1891 in his son-in-law James Peterson's front yard and named it after Peterson's daughter Alma.
The vessel represents the maritime transportation methods of the San Francisco Bay Area, where over 400 scow schooners operated before motorized vehicles.
Visitors can explore this National Historic Landmark at Hyde Street Pier, where it continues to sail regularly and participates in the Master Mariners Regatta.
The Alma stands as the last operational scow schooner in the United States, with distinctive side-to-side bottom planking instead of the standard fore-and-aft construction.
