The three-masted schooner NATHAN E. COBB wrecked and dismasted on beach at Ormond Beach, Florida in 1896.

The three-masted schooner NATHAN E. COBB, her rigging the victim of an offshore gale, drifted drifted onto the sandy beach at Ormond Beach, Florida, in 1896 only six years after she was launched in Rockland, Maine. Three women in the photograph had bicycled out to view the wreck. The photo was taken by Ida Crie of Rockland who ironically had also taken a photo of her launching.
