The 4-masted schooner EDNA M. McKNIGHT was pictured before launching at Camden, Maine, on a rainy day in 1918. She was one of the last large, wooden cargo schooners built in Maine, mostly for carrying coal and lumber. Her working life ended December 7, 1926, in a storm off Virginia, when her hull and rigging were badly damaged, her crew was rescued, and she was set adrift.
