''Wapama'', also known as ''Tongass'', was a vessel last located in Richmond, California. She was the last surviving example of some 225 wooden steam schooners that served the lumber trade and other coastal services along the Pacific Coast of the United States.〔 She was managed by the National Park Service at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park until dismantled in August 2013. ''Wapama'' was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984;〔〔 〕 the designation was withdrawn in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Weekly List of Actions 04/06/15 through 04/10/15 )〕 == Design == ''Wapama'' was a two-masted, wooden schooner with a beam and a depth of , net tonnage of 524, but a gross tonnage of 945. The ''Wapama'' was constructed in by St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, a subsidiary of the Charles McCormick Lumber Company, on Sauvie Island in Columbia County, Oregon in 1915. James Price was the master builder of the ship and oversaw a crew of 85-100 men at the company during the time of the ''Wapama''s construction. The shipyard launched the incomplete ''Wapama'', described as "little more than a finished hull", in a celebration on January 20, 1915. The ship was then towed to San Francisco by the ''Klamath'' for completion, but the ship drifted free during the tow and had to be caught by the tug ''Goliah'' of Merchants and Shipowners. The tow was completed by the first ship built by the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, the ''Multnomah''. Through February and March 1915, Main Street Iron Works installed the engine whilst the accommodations for passengers and crew were also completed. The ''Wapama'' officially entered into the service of the McCormick Lumber Company on April 29, 1915 and it cost a total of $150,000.〔 The San Francisco Examiner reported, "The vessel will have accomodations () for forty-five cabin passengers and fifteen steerage. The lumber carrying capacity will be 1,100,000 board feet."〔 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「Wapama (steam schooner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
