What will be the largest schooner in
the worlds commerce when completed
is being constructed at Bath, Me-, for
the Philadelphia coal trade. She will
be five-masted vessel, and have a oar
rying capacity of $500 tons Of coal. The
craft will be 200 feet in length over all,
AZ feet beam and ~ feet depth OF hold +.
Each of the five masts will be 100 feet
above the deck, with sufficient gear to
spread 1900 yards of canvass. Capt.
Baker, of the four-masted schooner
Augustus Hunt. now at this port, load
ing for Boston, will command the new
craft. Four-masted vessels were, until
recently, considered a curiosity. The
introduction of a five-masted coaster,
with sufficient space to carry as much as
five ordinary vessels, and coupled with
the outside barge-tOwing system, has
caused the owners Of small crafts to
wonder what will be the next expert
ment of the coal transporters.
