The
upper image is an historic photograph of the Frank A. Palmer,
the largest four-masted schooner ever built. The steam coming
off the side of the ship is from the donkey engine, which provided
power for raising and lowering the sails, taking in the anchor,
and other mechanical tasks. At the time of her sinking, the 274'5"
ship had a crew of 9 plus captain.
The
lower image is a painting of the Frank A. Palmer under
sail.
