Full Rigged Ship

Description

Full Rigged Ship
Kinburn, – built 1873, – length 183 – weight 1200t, – at John H Zwicker Shipyard

The Kinburn ruled the waves off Lunenburg County for many years, and was widely regarded as the largest ship east of Shelburne for much of the latter half of the 19th century.  Size, however, did not guarantee immortality, as she succumbed to the sea before the end of the century, sinking in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1899.
