Summary
A historic schooner with a wild past—once a WWII Coast Guard cutter, Jacques Cousteau’s research vessel, a New York Harbor bar, and a Michigan waterfront classroom—sank mysteriously in New York Harbor last week. No one was aboard, but the ship’s legacy is immense: it’s one of only two surviving racing schooners from the International Fisherman’s Cup and was nearly designated a National Historic Landmark. With its sinking just days before a major 250th birthday fleet sail, the focus now shifts to recovery and salvaging this maritime icon.
