Vessel History

The Sea Foam (shown on record as Seafoam) was built in 1905, in Aberdeen (Washington?), at Lindstrom Ship Building, for owner George Beadle. It was a wooden steam schooner of 339 gross tons, and it had a 500 horsepower compound engine installed by Willamette Iron & Steelworks.

After two years, the Sea Foam was sold to Henry Templeman, and in 1911 it was sold again to Charles Higgins. Over the years, there were a number of masters recorded: P. Miller (05), S. B. Lindstrom (06), C. Brunet (08).

The vessel was lost on February 23rd, 1931, at Point Arena, while enroute to San Francisco with a cargo of lumber. The crew was rescued by a surf boat from the coast guard station.

The collection contains 34 cargo manifests dated from 1907-1910 while the Sea Foam was operating in the Mendocino Coast Line. The manifests covered shipments from San Francisco to Mendocino
