The Schooner ANNIE C. ROSS Being Towed By a Tug Boat
The 4-masted,175 foot schooner ANNIE C. ROSS being towed by a tug boat with a ferry in the background. The 4-masted,175 foot schooner ANNIE C. ROSS was built of wood by Percy and Small, Bath, Maine for F.G. Boggs in 1917. She was laid up in 1940 and bought by a scouting organization intending to use her as a training vessel in 1954. In September of 1955 the scouting organization was still raising money for their project when the ANNIE C. ROSS sank at her moorings in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York. She was the last of the Percy and Small-built schooners to perish.
