11						VESSEL INFORMATION: The schooner Virginia was commissioned by the Virginia Pilots Association and designed by naval engineers Cox and Stevens. Pilots Association president William Rowe Boutwell instructed the designers to model the vessel after the America's Cup competitors of the day. She was built by A.C. Brown & Son of Tottenville, Staten Island, New York, and was completed in 1916. Virginia served actively as a pilot vessel during World War I. Following the war, she was fitted with two 75 hp diesel engines. In 1932 the Virginia was replaced by another auxiliary schooner named Hampton Roads. In 1939, Virginia was sold to Walter K. Queen of Boston. She was sold again in 1944, and in 1945 was sold to her final owner, William H. Hoeffer of New York. In 1947 she was reported "stranded."	CL11294
