ROCKLAND, Maine — The 128-foot-long historic wooden schooner Victory Chimes, which was celebrated on the 2023 commemorative Maine quarter, has sunk in New York City.
Brad Vogel, who covers maritime happenings in Brooklyn, said the vessel sank sometime between Friday night and Sunday in the Henry Street Basin.
Vogel said a strong squall came through Friday night and negatively affected many ships. The historic schooner Pilot, docked next to the Chimes, sank Friday. Vogel said he saw comments by people who said the Chimes also went down and when he went there Sunday, he found it also was under water.
He said the Victory Chimes had looked rough lately, with the wood deteriorating on the hull.
