''Frank A. Palmer'' and ''Louise B. Crary'' are a historic dual shipwreck site in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, off Gloucester, Massachusetts. Nathaniel T. Palmer and the New England Shipbuilding Company built the ''Frank A. Palmer'' in 1897. The ''Louise B. Crary'' was launched in 1900. Both were wooden-hulled coal-carrying schooners. At 274 feet (83.5 meters), the ''Frank A. Palmer'' may be the largest four-masted schooner ever built. The ''Louise B. Crary'' was 267 feet (81.4 meters) long and had five masts.〔(NOAA web site ), accessed May 4, 2009〕 In 1899, the ''Frank A. Palmer'' grounded near Tathem's life-saving station in New Jersey, but was refloated on July 23.〔(The Frank A. Palmer Floated ), ''The New York Times'', July 24, 1899, accessed May 4, 2009〕 The ships were each carrying 3,000 tons of coal from Newport News, Virginia, to Boston when they collided during the gale and sank together. Eleven of the 21 sailors lost their lives. The wrecks were located in 2002 in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.〔 The shipwreck was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.〔 ==See also== *Portland Gale *National Register of Historic Places listings in Gloucester, Massachusetts *National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank A.
