S.S. Castle Wood One of two sisters of the future USS Anacapa (AG-49) as completed in 1919. Note that these ships were originally conventional small two-masted freighters. Anacapa was refitted as a four-masted lumber schooner by one of the three commercial owners she had between 1923 and 1942. Castle Wood was renamed Arlyn in 1925 and was sunk by a submarine in August 1942. Photo No. None Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command (S-528-A) |
