HISTORY OF THE VIRGINIA SCHOONER: KNOW YOUR WOODEN SHIP MODEL

Discover Virginia, a wooden model of this American schooner. Built and launched in 1819, it carried out tasks of pursuit and interception as coastguard due to its speed. 

In the early XIX Century, the United States began to build small boats rigged as 'schooners' obtaining highly maneuverable and elegant crafts. In what would be the seed of the subsequent US Coast Guard, they had the mission to enforce the new law on import and customs.
