| Description |
English: The American schooner Thomas W. Lawson was the largest sailing vessel ever built, as an attempt to show that sail could still compete in the age of steam.
In 1907 the Lawson was carrying 2,225,000 gallons of paraffin oil across the Atlantic when a storm forced it to shelter in Broad Sound, off St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly. Worsening conditions drove the ship onto Shag Rock, west of Annet, where it capsized. Most of the crew of 18 drowned. In the Valhalla Museum in Tresco Abbey Gardens, Isles of Scilly. |
