The Toro was among the many wooden steam schooners built to move lumber down the Pacific Coast from Northern California mills. Records confirming her builder, dimensions, and owners have not been reliably located. She was lost along the Northern California coast, an area known for dangerous rocks and swift currents. The precise date and cause of her loss are not firmly established here.
