Sometimes both. I will see what info i can find regarding the brig, Globe. Thanks!Belinda G.

She was recreated in 1984 to represent the hundreds of sailing ships that delivered men and goods to Sacramento (as far as deep water ships could sail up river) and then abandoned by their gold-hungry crew. The Globe was built on the Old Town waterfront by Bay Ship and Yacht and Melbourne Smith. By 1990 she was overshadowed by the Delta King and, as I understand, towed away and left to rot. I have been trying to find anything about her on the web, with no success. It's as if she never existed. Sad, she was a lovely little ship with a great story to tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
