American schooner, 1860 Designed by the famous shipbuilder
Jeremiah Burham, the FLYING FISH was launched in 1860 in Essex,
Massachusetts. For more than twenty years it was the most representative vessel
of the Market Schooner class. Thanks to its special construction characterists
and the enormous amount of sail it carried, the FLYING FISH was one of the
fastest vessels of the Gloucester fishing fleet, transporting the fish caught on the
famous Banks to the market ports in record time, with obvious advantages in
terms of sales and earnings. The general arrangement of the deck accessories and
the colours were traditional and were always strictly respected.
