Maple Leaf (schooner) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Maple Leaf (schooner)
The ''Maple Leaf'' is a schooner built in 1904, making it British Columbia's oldest tall ship. In 1906, the ''Maple Leaf'' was the only Canadian vessel to qualify for the first ever Trans-Pac sailing race, which was slated to take place in San Francisco but never took place due to the massive earthquake that occurred in that year. From the 1930s to the 1970s, the ''Maple Leaf'' was a halibut longliner on the Bering Sea, making it one of the longest-running ships to fish. Now a sail training vessel and ecotourism schooner, she has a rich history of operation on the coast. ==History== In 1904, a Vancouver businessman named Alexander MacLaren wanted the fastest and best sailing yacht on the west coast. He hired Capt. William Watts, shipbuilder and founder of Vancouver Shipyard (now Vancouver Shipyards) to build it.
