Wawona, Museum ship at South Lake Union Park, Seattle, United States
The Wawona, a three-masted schooner measuring 47.5 meters in length, rests at the Museum of History and Industry's waterfront location in Seattle.
From 1897 to 1913, the wooden vessel transported lumber between Puget Sound ports and California before converting to cod fishing operations in the Bering Sea.
The vessel influenced maritime literature as Captain Ralph Peasley's experiences aboard the Wawona became the foundation for multiple nautical novels.
The ship remained active until 1947, served as a military barge during World War II, and later became the first vessel designated as a National Historic Site.
After dismantling in 2009, artist John Grade created a 65-foot sculpture using salvaged materials from the original vessel for permanent display.
