Notes - Owned by E. Churchill & Sons, PLYMOUTH is perhaps best known for a moving diary of life aboard which was kept by Alice Coalfleet, the wife of her captain George Coalfleet. Alice recorded travel, storms, accidents and the birth of her own child aboard PLYMOUTH. Her saddest memory was the transfer of her husband from PLYMOUTH to the barque HAMBURG where he died soon after from heart disease. Ironically PLYMOUTH would later end its days as an abandoned wreck lying beside HAMBURG, uniting in their demise, the two vessels so closely associated with the life of Alice Coalfleet. In 1905 at the end of her sailing career, PLYMOUTH was sold to the J. B. King Company of New York and was converted into a gypsum barge and used to transport gypsum from the Avon River, Nova Scotia to New York.
Story
After many years as a gypsum barge the vessel was abandoned by the company in 1921 and left to decay on the Avon Riverbank beside HAMBURG, WILDWOOD, PLYMOUTH and ONTARIO. Together, these wrecks represent the largest physical remains of ships from the Golden Age of Sail in Nova Scotia.
