Schooner Shaw Island (cropped)

Schooner Shaw Island (cropped)

Back in 1974 I took this picture, the first I ever took in the San Juan Islands. It was apparantly a schooner but to this day I have not been able to identify her. I am aware of the current tall ships, Alcyone, Adventuress, and Zodiac but none of these seem to match. The only clue I have ever received was that someone back then told me she belonged to a boys club, but not sure. Once again I am asking for anyone who may be able to identify her to come forward and settle my 32 year mystery. ~ J. R.

A couple of old pictures: One is my brother Dan and an old rental skiff we had for the better part of a week on Hoods Canal near Seal Rock on the Olympics side.  The winged motor was my dad’s Johnson 5hp 2-cycle. The other is Dad fishing in the skiff.
