Casco
Here's a rather obscure "On This Day" for you: June 1, 1919 marked the beginning of the last voyage of the Casco, a schooner, as the article below mentions, rather well-known as one in which Stevenson had spent some time in the South Seas. If the popular phrase might be applied to a vessel, "She died as she had lived". (Popular Mechanics, January 1920)![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_ssK-2uDawxAwx-gzcRVst7Et5v-iyLwyomFSn2BR8DoYA4Z16kXsVEgtvFUhvQnILzro5rV145KUqnRaPtTpuKII3fDBvpQ5qpUNh4FvJWemCaFoGlzImS_FinVLl7sSTpr5XXaXdzlGmehFuw4cbhnBESTVgRDdcF2Bv2NQPDRx6imA1t1BYjn5yV9bjIBJwwu-USsD2uMDD57OZttTsK-nOL_puobP_1Dg=s0-d)
