''Amaranth'' was a four-masted barquentine built by Matthew Turner of Benicia, California in 1901. ''Amaranth'' sailed in the China trade between Puget Sound and Shanghai. She was wrecked on a guano island in the South Pacific in 1913 while carrying a load of coal. ==Construction== Barquentine Amaranth Co. incorporated in San Francisco on Sept. 14, 1901 with capital stock of $76,000 and was assigned state corporation no. 33,965.〔(Report of Secretary of State, p. 27 )〕 Captain Turner, a master shipbuilder, was known for his Bering Sea pelagic sealing schooners, codfishing schooners, South Seas schooners, and sugar packets.〔 〕 ''Amaranth'' measured 1,109 tons, and was a sister ship to Turner's 1,167 ton barquentine ''Amazon.''〔〔 〕 The ship was named after the amaranth plant. In 1975, a half-hull model of ''Amaranth'' was on display in the San Francisco Maritime Museum.〔 〕 By 1941, the Historic American Merchant Marine project had collected and deposited the complete plans of ''Amaranth'' at the US National Museum.〔 ("The Historic American Merchant Marine project has collected and deposited in the US National Museum lines of the schooner ''Lily'' and complete plans of schooner ''Commerce'', barkentines ''Kohala'', ''Amazon'' and ''Amaranth'', and bark ''Newsboy''.") 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amaranth (barquentine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
