The Vessel and Her Loss

The schooner Golden Gate was lost on the north shore of Lānaʻi in 1901, one of the last recorded sailing-vessel wrecks at what became known as Shipwreck Beach before steamships came to dominate inter-island trade. She is named in historical inventories compiled from Hawaiian newspaper archives and vessel registers. No further detail of her final voyage or the cause of her loss survives.
