Schooner Western Union
A historic Key West schooner built to service undersea telegraph cables. It is currently dry-docked for restoration, so it is a maritime-history subject rather than a visit or sailing to plan.
Western Union links Key West’s waterfront to the undersea cables that connected Florida, Cuba and the Caribbean. Built in 1939 as a working cable vessel, the schooner gives maritime history a tangible form. Its present boatyard condition means the story is worth knowing, but the vessel should not anchor a sightseeing route or sailing plan.
What to look for
A Florida-built schooner designed for cable work across the Keys and Caribbean.
