The Inca was "the first true five-masted schooner built on the West Coast."〔 〕 ''Inca'', "the second of her rig built on the Pacific, was launched at Port Blakely by Hall Bros. in 1896."〔 〕 ==Launching== "The ''Inca'', because of its size and rig, had attracted considerable attention during the progress of its construction and when the time set for launching arrived a large crowd of people was present in the shipyards. The Port Blakeley schools were closed so that the pupils might attend the exercises incident to launching. Little Miss Melusina Thornton, the nine-year-old daughter of Chief Engineer Thornton of the steamer ''Sarah Renton'', christened the new boat as it slipped into the water a few minutes before 11 o'clock on the morning of November 11, 1896."〔 〕 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「Inca (schooner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
