Summary
Two historic schooners, the Pilot and the Victory Chimes — once vital to maritime history and even featured on the Maine state quarter — have mysteriously sunk in New York’s polluted Gowanus Canal. Built over a century apart, these wooden vessels, owned by a company that repurposes historic ships into floating venues, vanished under squalls in early July, with no clear cause. Raising them is a daunting, costly challenge, and the maritime community is demanding answers and action before it’s too late. For many, losing the Victory Chimes — the last of its kind — feels like a devastating blow to our nautical heritage.
