A schooner I think. Built for speed and sailing close to the wind. I cannot see gun ports and though she may be armed she does not appear to be a warship. She is not flying many pennants and I cannot discern her colors. <BR/><BR/>So, before you gave your clues I was going to guess The Panda, the last pirate ship to operate in American waters (off the east coast of Florida). In 1832 under Don pedro Gilbert she took a prize with $20,000 in silver and regarding the captives the pirate captain remarked: "Dead cats don't mew. You know what to do." Captured in 1834, he and eleven other pirates were hanged in Boston. <BR/><BR/>But I can't make a New York and Georgia connection, so it must be some other fast ship and I think Tour Marm is right. A slaver makes sense, and the Wanderer was a converted racing yacht, which this ship could easily be.GreenmanTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03469571893477173508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-12875728965040281922007-03-08T02:34:00.000-05:002007-03-08T02:34:00.000-05:00Is this The Wanderer, the last American slave ship...Is this The Wanderer, the last American slave ship?The Educational Tour Marmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863785072911968926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-64920675182717206172007-03-07T21:45:00.000-05:002007-03-07T21:45:00.000-05:00Clues......well, it's none of the guesses so far.T...Clues......well, it's none of the guesses so far.<BR/><BR/>There's a connection to my Thursday 13, but it's simply by accident.
