She was wrecked the following day on Cuttyhunk Island during a severe northeasterly gale that swept the Atlantic coast. Bark Wanderer was built at Mattapoisett, Mass. in 1878. She is the last square rigged whale ship to sail from New Bedford. Also noted in the scene a two masted fishing schooner, of the "Pinky" type; smaller version of the average fishing schooners. Pinky's design made them less vulnerable in bad weather to sink. Pinkies were cheaper to built because of their sharp stern also seen are couple of sloops in the scene, w they were commonly used to fish or pilot the bigger vessels coming from their whaling voyage.
