HISTORY
During the last half of the 19th century, the San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner was the workhorse of the Pacific Coast and inland waterway. These “Square-Toed Packets” ranged the
coast from Alaska to Mexico. Although wide in their variety, nearly all were built on the San Francisco Bay, but migrated along the coast in Summer and early Fall.
A design influenced only by purpose and environment, the San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner represented a perfected design. Their short, wide, flat hulls were unparalleled in their
ability to carry cargo up the shallowest of rivers or narrowest of sloughs. Their sharp rocker and narrow ends maintained sailing characteristics which under the right conditions were competitive
with their deep bellied cousins. Only in the steep chop of the open ocean was the Scow rivaled by the blue water sailor.
Unparalleled in the world, the San Francisco Bay Scow Schooner was unlike any of her distant cousins in both construction and design. Narrow transoms, generous bottom rocker, and
lofty rig were typical features recorded in historical notes and photographs. These little ships were built with no deadrise to heir sections and perfectly plumb sides. They were usually built without
plans, and each was probably built exactly as every other built by the same man. Although Scow varied in length from 34 feet (Kate 1851), to 87 feet (Edith 1906), the average Scow Schooner was
40 to 60 feet in length
