Bones

            Originally 244 feet, the Benjamin F. Packard was built in 1883 at the Goss, Sawyer & Packard shipyard and was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938. The boat was designed to carry cargo around Cape Horn, providing transport between the Pacific and Atlantic ports of the Americas. 

In 1927, the ship was decommissioned. Although attempts were made to give the ship to a museum, the boat spent its final years at Playland Amusement Park. In addition, parts of the captain’s quarters, including restored gold leafed panels, marble and brass fixtures, and plush upholstery, were preserved and given to the Mystic Seaport Museum located in Connecticut, where they are still on display to this day. 

Unfortunately after the hurricane of 1938, the Benjamin F. Packard was scuttled. The ship was disposed of and the whereabouts of the majority of its components are unknown or gone. But the spine, or keel, one the ship’s foundational components, remains on the shoreline of Edith G. Sanctuary to this day and is visible at low tide.
