Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comet: Submerged Cultural Resources Site Report; Channel Islands National Park Comet, a Pacific Coast lumber schooner, regularly traversed the Santa Barbara Channel between 1886 and 1911, hauling lumber from the Pacific Northwest to southern California ports. These once numerous schooners with hulls and rigging adapted to the particular demands of the lumber trade and coastal Pacific navigation are now represented by two museum examples. Other historical documentation for these vessels is scant. As-built structural details reflecting West Coast shipbuilding practices, their development and refinement to accommodate the Pacific Coast lumber trade must therefore come from the archeological record. When the 1999 storm exposed Comet, chis Archeologist Don Morris, seizing the opportunity, was quick to request Matt, a specialist on coastal lumber schooners, to assist him in leading a team to document and record Comet's remains.
