Dirigo Sinking Marked 50th Anniversary in Bath Maine
The Dirigo, the first steel sailing ship built in the United States, was sunk by a German submarine 50 years ago near the Cornwall coast. Built in Bath and launched in 1894, the four masted vessel carried cargo including barley for Sweden before being seized by the British and later sunk on May 31, 1917. A three foot model from the Sewell family is on loan at the Bath Marine Museum, linking Bath to the ship’s storied end.
