Golden State, 1913

Golden State was a 3-masted schooner built in the W.F. Stone yard in Oakland, California in 1913.[2]

Golden State caught fire in the Atlantic Ocean off Pensacola, Florida, on 18 February 1922 and was abandoned.[3] She was towed into Pensacola in a capsized state on 23 February 1922.[4] She subsequently was righted, repaired, and returned to service.

Golden State was laid up in Long Beach, California, in 1937 after being used in movies.[1] She was sold in Costa Rica in 1943.[2]
