Polly Was In War of 1812
And Still Sails the Deep
j| *** ~ ~
Photo by American Press Association.
There Isn't a sailing craft In all the great harbor of New York that has
anything ou Polly. In fact, there isn't a vessel plowing the ocean or tied to a
wharf that can hold a candlestick to the trim little schooner tecured fore and
aft on the starboard side of the recreation pier at the foot of West Fiftieth
street. Tolly is 106 years old. and her Bby 7 inch live oak ribs have a record
of shot and shell in the war of 1812 as a privateer that won her a page In his
tory. She has been crowned by a bronze tablet, set in just forward of her
cabin, by the National Society of the United States Daughters of 1812, com
memorating her eleven victories on the high seas. The Polly was built at
Amesbury, Mass., in 1804. She was first sloop rigged with square sails aloft
to give her speed in a fair wind. It was in this rig that she achieved her great
victories in the war of 1812. She was handled by a crew of twenty and carried
two long toms. Although only sixty-one feet over all, she went around the
Horn in 1849, carrying gold seekers to the Pacific coast. Since that time she
has been in trade along the New England coast. Built before the first steam
boat, she seems destined to outlive many of the modern liners. According to
Captain Weldon, her timbers are as sound as the day she was launched.
