United States historic place


The Katherine M. Lee is a sail-powered oyster schooner, built in 1912 at Greenwich, New Jersey. She is 85-foot-long (26 m) and all the framing is of white oak. The rigging was removed in the 1940s, when the vessel was converted to diesel power. She is maintained and used for oyster dredging on the waters of the Delaware Bay.[2]
