Here is a well-done short video about the schooner Wyoming, one of the largest wooden ships ever built. Built as a collier in 1909 by Percy & Small in Bath, Maine, she was capable of carrying 6000 long tons of coal and had an economically successful fifteen-year career before foundering in a storm off Nantucket in 1924, with the loss of all hands.
The Wreck of the Schooner “WYOMING”, the Largest Wooden Ship in History
8 people to work a 6 masted ship?
When the schooner sank she had 13 people aboard which sounds slightly more reasonable.
