Biographical or Historical Note

The man on the right is John H. "Jack" Dickerhoff, master mariner. Dickerhoff was a rigger at Alaska Packers. He later rigged the Balclutha, Star of India, C. A. Thayer, Wapama, et al. <p>Built in 1895, the C. A. Thayer, named after a partner in the E.K. Wood Lumber Co. of San Francisco, is one of 35 similar three-masted schooners built in the latter days of sail in the West Coast lumber trade. She was designed to run between Washington and California with heavy cargos of Douglas fir lumber. Thayer was large for a three-masted schooner but is otherwise typical of the period. Built entirely of Douglas fir, she has a single deck, an open hold, a very shallow draft and relatively wide beam. Her "bald-headed" rig, without separate topmasts, is representative of the later period of sail. Thayer speaks clearly of the hard and serious work of slipping lumber under sail along the unforgiving West Coast. The C. A. Thayer is now moored at the San Francisco Maritime National Park.
