Governor Parr

Governor Parr was a four-masted schooner built in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia in 1918.

On January 1, 1924, the American Coast Guard's USCGC Tampa attempted to tow Parr towards Halifax, NS.

[3] Governor Parr was sighted for many years after her 1923 abandonment but managed to remain afloat and cover large spans of the Atlantic Ocean.
