For Sale: Rare Vintage Schooner

  • August 21, 2023

This is a big, beautiful old schooner that was most likely built in the late 1800s.  This is supported by its overall patina and unique design reminiscent of a coastal fishing, or working boat, from that period.  It’s not known if the sail plan is true to the original found on this style of schooner, but the sails appear to be original to the boat.

The overall dimensions are 120 in high, 27 in wide, and 100 in long.  The hull is plank-on-frame and covered in what is thought to be a Treacle varnish finish, with some colored accent stripes.  Brass nautical fittings are present on the deck.

The period look of this model is further enhanced with the bespoke pull cart that also serves as its cradle.  The pull cart looks original to the boat.

If you are looking to add something special to your pond yacht collection or want to have a rare nautical themed decorative piece for your mantle, or business, you should check out this rare find.

The seller is looking to get $3,800 OBO.  If interested, or if you have any question, call James Weir at 901-486-6440, or email at james.weir@palladiomemphis.com.
