Fredonia Type Schooner
The successful fishing schooner design of the Fredonia of 1889 was an improvement on the earlier shallow (and somewhat unstable) Gloucester clippers of the 1850s-80s; the vessel had a sharp, clipper bow, elliptical transom, fine sharp lines, a lofty rig, and a deep draft that brought speed under sail. As an offshore design, the Fredonia hull, served well as a stable platform for deepwater voyages.
