Fantome (schooner)
''Fantome'' was a 679-ton staysail schooner owned by Windjammer Barefoot Cruises in Miami, Florida. Completed in 1927 by the Duke of Westminster, she was purchased by Windjammer in 1969, and became flagship of the fleet. During her twenty-nine years of service in this regard, ''Fantome'' offered cruises in the Caribbean and the Bay of Honduras. She was lost in October 1998, during Hurricane Mitch.
==Early years==
Originally ordered for the Italian navy but before completion was purchased by the Duke of Westminster, who finished her as a yacht (launched in 1927). Westminster used her only a few years before she changed hands twice in short order. Ultimately she was acquired by Irishman A. E. Guinness, heir to the brewing fortune that bore his family’s name.
Guinness had taken her into the Pacific in the late 1930s and when war broke out in Europe in 1939, she was in Alaskan waters. Reluctant to cruise further or return to Ireland, he elected to lay her up in Seattle for the duration of hostilities. At the end of the war she was stranded in Portage Bay for 14 years, barred by King County from sailing pending the payment of back taxes.
