USS Irene Forsyte (IX-93)
USS ''Irene Forsyte'' (IX-93) was a three masted schooner originally built as ''MacLean Clan'' which was briefly converted to a Q-ship, of the United States Navy.
==In commercial service==
The three-masted schooner ''MacLean Clan'' was built in 1920 by MacLean Construction Company, Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia for H.W. Adams of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Built at the end of the era of three masted merchant schooners, she was one of two schooners built by MacLean construction in 1920, the other being the auxiliary tern schooner ''Cote Nord''.〔Parker, Tom, ''Sails of the Maritimes: The Story of the Three and Four Masted Cargo Schooners of Atlantic Canada'', McGraw-Hill-Ryerson, 1976 p. 192〕 ''Maclean Clan'' worked in the coastal trade into the 1930s. She had an auxiliary engine installed in 1926 and was sold and re-registered in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1929.〔("Clan MacLean" Parks Canada, Ship Information Database )〕 In the early 1930s she was purchased by Captain Thomas Antle. Renamed ''Irene Myrtle'', the schooner barely survived the tough trade conditions of that time and was in poor condition by the end of the decade. Given a new lease on life by the increased shipping traffic provoked by the war, she served in the coal trade between New England and Nova Scotia into 1942. That summer, while the ship was loading coal at New London, Connecticut, Captain Antle died and the ship was eventually put up for sale.
