Thaddeus Bannister, American School (born 1915)

The American schooner Herald, 474 tons, was built by Brown & McDonald at Belfast, Maine, in 1883. Launched as a three-masted coaster measuring 144 feet in length and having a 33 foot beam, her dimensions were slightly altered when she was re-rigged as a four-master in December 1917. Originally owned by Buck & Co. and registered in New York, she was abandoned in the Atlantic on 7 April, 1918 but subsequently salvaged and towed into Tampa Bay, Florida, where she was finally broken up in 1921.
