Schooner Roseway
Ocean Navigator|November/December 2019
Although it fished on the Grand Banks, still holding the record of catching 74 swordfish in one day — with harpoon — the schooner Roseway wasn’t built as a commercial vessel.
David Berson
Schooner Roseway

Unlike many of its sister ships that were constructed as Grand Banks fishing schooners, Roseway, called a “fishing yacht,” was launched to beat the Canadian schooner Bluenose in the international fishing vessel races held between Nova Scotia and Gloucester.

Roseway was designed and built by John James in Essex, Mass., in 1925 at the John F. James & Son Shipyard, a yard that had already produced many well-known schooners including Mayflower, and later the schooner Adventure, both highly regarded vessels.
