George Stetson was a schooner launched in 1880 and sunk in 1899.

Design

The ship was designed by marine architect Albert Hathorn, who describes the design to be one of his best. The design employed with the Stetson served as the base for the larger 2,205 ton Parker M. Whitmore.[5]

History

The ship was built as a so-called 'Cape Horner' schooner for Parker Whitmore, launched in Bath, Maine in July 1880.

When about 60 miles (97 km) north of Formosa, the ship was destroyed by fire while carrying goods between Portland, Oregon and Taku, China on 27 August 1899. The entire crew was able to evacuate.[6][7]
