Frank A. Palmer And Louise B. Crary (shipwreck)
Frank A. Palmer and Louise B. Crary is a historic dual shipwreck site in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The shipwreck was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
Nathaniel T. Palmer and the New England Shipbuilding Company built the Frank A. Palmer in 1897. The Louise B. Crary was launched in 1900. Both were wooden-hulled coal-carrying schooners. At 274 feet (83.5 meters), the Frank A. Palmer may be the largest four-masted schooner ever built. The Louise B. Crary was 267 feet (81.4 meters) long and had five masts.
In 1899, the Frank A. Palmer grounded near Tathem's life-saving station in New Jersey, but was refloated on July 23.
The ships were each carrying 3,000 tons of coal from Newport News, Virginia, to Boston when they collided during the gale and sank together. Eleven of the 21 sailors lost their lives. The wrecks were located in 2002.
