With a length of 312 feet, she had a beam of 48 feet, weighed 2,842 tons and carried 72,000 square feet of sail. Under the Hawaiian flag she was engaged in the sugar trade between Honolulu and the U.S. mainland and in 1910 she made a record run from Honolulu to New York City via Cape Horn in 84 days. She met her end during a storm in 1926 off the California coast. An adventurous 105 day journey from Honolulu to Philadelphia in 1911 on the 'John Ena' was later recounted by C. Ray Wilmore in his book 'Square Rigger Round the Horn'. |
