The next stage means that starting Monday, and for at least three weeks, the Wawona will be sawed up at the Lake Union Drydock Company.

Historic schooner Wawona heads for demise

The 111-year-old Wawona was maneuvered Wednesday from South Lake Union to her death at a dry dock on the east side of the lake. The historic schooner was beyond repair because of rot and beetle infestations.

Very sad that the money for historic preservation is so limited. It really irritates me that all of the obsolete when launched turkeys of the Iowa class battleships are still around when the Wawona, and the Wapama are gone and the USS Olympia is soon to follow.

the war ship models seem to be all the rage
we must consider the working boats the men who went to sea those who never returned the merchant and working ships are a big part of the story

Seems to be, that the Wawona is in a better shape (also the wooden hull), that the Peking was (although her hull construction in steel)
Many thanks for sharing these interesting photos and videos

Peking was in New York, that's the problem
