The Candace
The Candace was a three-masted barque about a 100 feet long that was built in Boston in 1818. In its heyday, the whaler sailed the globe, and it was likely among the first merchant ships to carry the American flag into the Pacific.
The Candace was badly damaged by ice on a whaling voyage to the Arctic when its captain, Norman Starr, tried to return home to New England. Leaking badly and manned by a tired and cranky crew, the Candace literally limped into San Francisco Bay on July 4. It never sailed again. It was partly dismantled and eventually buried under the growing new city -- forgotten for nearly 150 years.
