Last of Four-Masted Coaster Annie C Ross Reemerges as Elizabeth Scott Moore
The sole survivor of America’s four-masted coasting schooners, the Annie C Ross now renamed Elizabeth Scott Moore, rests in Newtown Creek Queens since 1942. Launched 1917 in Bath Maine, she hauled lumber coal and fish scrap, once boasting 12 sails described by a former crewman as huge mule’s ears. Neglect and vandalism have damaged her interior and belaying pins have been discarded as Cape Verde Islanders left a group after abandoning her.
