The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the schooner C.A. Thayer has been rechristened following its $14M restoration.
The Thayer was taken out of the water and rebuilt at a former airplane hangar in Alameda. The project, said historian Steve Canright, “is a piece of wooden shipbuilding that has not been seen in this country since … World War I.” Canright is the historian for the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, which owns the ship.
