Description: Before coming ashore near Pensacola (FL) and converting to a wreck, one of many found in the Gulf of Mexico, the beautiful three-masted sailship Catharine, a veteran of late 19th-century global maritime trade, served under three different flags. She had, in her life, Canadian, British, and Norwegian owners, and carried a variety of cargos for 24 years, when the average working life of merchant vessels was just 18 years. After wrecking, some of her gear continued service on other ships as recycled deck machinery. Abandoned for more than a century, served as a shelter for marine life, cyclically exposed on the seabed and buried by the sand, until assumed a new life as an archeological site. The author takes the opportunity to tell many stories about Catharine: the rise of Canadian shipbuilding, the global trade network of Victorian England, the Norwegian
reliance on sailing ships, at a time when steam was definitely establishing itself, and the deep Norwegian connection with Pensacola's timber industry. The book focuses not only on the shipwreck and the wrecking event, but also on the history and archaeology of a single ship. With this expanded view, the research also delves into the international shipbuilding and the struggle for dominance in the ship trade in the 19th century.
