Pretoria (ship)
The American ship ''Pretoria'' was one of the largest wooden ships ever constructed. The ''Pretoria'' was a schooner-barge, and 103 meters (338 ft) long, 13.4 meters (44 ft) wide and 7 meters (23 ft) in depth.
It was a barge built for use on the Great Lakes by James Davidson in West Bay City, Michigan. The Saginaw, Michigan newspaper ''The Courier-Herald'' described the ''Pretorias launch on July 26, 1900 in the following way:
To strengthen its wooden frame and hull, the ''Pretoria'' included steel keelson plates, steel chords, and steel arches. It was also diagonally strapped with steel. It needed a donkey engine to run a pump to keep its interior dry.
The ''Pretoria'' sank in a storm in 1905.〔( ''Wisconsin's Great Lakes Shipwrecks: Pretoria'' ) University of Wisconsin–Madison Sea Grant Institute and Wisconsin Historical Society, 2003〕 The ship was sunk during the same storm which sank another notable ship, the ''Sevona''. Ironically, the ''Sevona'' received her cargo load shortly after the ''Pretoria'', at the very same dock in Superior. Both ships would be shipwrecked the very next day near the Apostle Islands, when a legendary gale would send them to the bottom of the lake.
