A. J. Meerwald, Restored schooner in Commercial Township, New Jersey, US.
The A. J. Meerwald extends 115 feet in length with a 23-foot beam, constructed entirely from solid oakwood for maritime operations.
The Charles H. Stowman & Sons shipyard launched this vessel in 1928, which later served the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II.
The New Jersey State Legislature designated the A. J. Meerwald as the official tall ship of New Jersey in 1998.
The Bayshore Center at Bivalve manages educational programs aboard the vessel, offering maritime instruction in ports across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
This vessel transitions from an oyster dredging schooner to a fireboat during wartime, then returns to maritime education purposes in modern times.
