The Vessel and Her Loss

The Infidel was a wooden sailing schooner active on the Pacific Coast trade during the nineteenth century. Little verifiable detail survives regarding her builder, owners, or size. She was lost somewhere along the Oregon coast, a shoreline that claimed many sailing vessels to bar crossings and sudden weather. The date and specific cause of her loss are not firmly established here.
