Wapama steam schooner - Richmond Kaiser Naval Shipyard (near San Francisco)

WAPAMA (Steam Schooner), also known as Tongass, is the last surviving example of some 225 steam schooners that served the lumber trade and other coastal services along the Pacific coast of the United States.­

It is currently slowly rotting on a barge, waiting for hypothetical funding to restore it.­
