Schooners: Workhorses of the Sea

Built by Pickles & Mills at Hog Island, 1919 at a spot where two years later the Annapolis - Granville Bridge was built. She was berthed for many years at the Railway Wharf, Annapolis Royal having been little used. Zane Grey, the western fiction writer, offered to buy her but the offer was refused and eventually the Mapleland was towed to the beach at Port Wade where Captain Keene stripped her and she rotted out on the beach.
