Schooner John F. Leavitt

The John F. Leavitt was built at Newbert & Wallace Shipyard in Thomaston Maine. Launched in 1979, the 97-foot two-masted schooner made the initial stage of it's maiden voyage to a dock on the Town River in Quincy. After taking on a cargo of lumber and chemicals, the John F. Leavitt left Quincy bound for Haiti and was sunk in a Nor'Easter. These photos were taken just before the Leavitt left on it's first and last voyage.

After departing Quincy with it's full load of cargo, the Leavitt encountered a Nor'Easter with 20 ft waves approx 190 miles off of Long Island.

Eventually the schooner was overwhelmed and sunk.

All of the crew of the John F. Leavitt were rescued by the US Coast Guard.
