The seller's website says it's a gaff-rigged topsail schooner built in 1924 in the Grand Banks tradition at Essex, Massachusetts by J.F. James and Sons.
She was a Boston pilot ship for almost 50 years. In the 1970s she embarked on a trip around the world making it to Fiji where she was sold. It has served as a school ship for the Coast Guard and a community tall ship.
