Starboard broadside view of the five masted schooner EDNA HOYT and two tugs c. 1936
The high freight rates prevailing during the First World War and the years immediately following led to a remarkable revival in wooden shipbuilding in the USA and Canada. Most of the vessels built were substantial schooners, and the last of them was the five-masted 1,512 gross ton Edna Hoyt, built at Thomaston, Maine in 1920. Seen here approaching Cardiff under tow c. 1936, she continued to trade until condemned at Lisbon in 1937.

Built 1920 by Dunn & Elliott, Maine, USA. She was the last of the American five-masted schooners, at the port of Cardiff in 1937 under her master, R.W. Rickson. Her owners at that time were Superior Trading & Transportation Co. of Boston, Mass. A year later, the owners are given as H.G. Foss.
