Editing Scow (section)

===Notable sailing scows===
The scow schooner [[Alma (1891)|''Alma'']] of [[San Francisco]], built in 1891, restored in the 1960s, and designated a [[National Historic Landmark]] (NHL) in 1988, was one of the last scow schooners in operation. She is a small example, 59 feet in length, 22.6 feet in beam, with a draft of 4 feet and a loaded displacement of 41 tons.

''Elsie'' was the last scow sloop operated on the Chesapeake Bay. Although sailing scows were once numerous around the Bay, they are poorly documented.

The ''Ted Ashby'' is a ketch-rigged scow built in 1993 and based at the New Zealand [[National Maritime Museum, New Zealand|National Maritime Museum]] in Auckland, it regularly sails the Auckland harbour as a tourist attraction. It was named after an old-time New Zealand seafarer and scowman, Ted Ashby, who had the foresight to document much of the history of these coastal work horses in his book ''Phantom Fleet - The Scows and Scowmen of Auckland'', which was published by A. H. & A. W. Reed, Wellington, in 1976.

The ''Jane Gifford''<ref>[http://www.janegifford.org.nz/restoration.htm ''Jane Gifford'']</ref> is a ketch-rigged deck scow built in 1908 by Davey Darroch, Big Omaha, New Zealand. The vessel was re-launched at Waiuku on the 28 November 1992, with Captain Basil Subritzky, the son of the late Captain Bert Subritzky and his family as guests of honour. The ''Jane Gifford'' then commenced sailings and tours on the [[Manukau Harbour]] between [[Waiuku]] and the [[Onehunga|Onehunga Wharf]]. In 1999 she was pulled out of the water for a rebuild, which commenced at Okahu Bay on the Waitemata Harbour. She then sat rotting until 2005, when she was moved to Warkworth for rebuilding. A full rebuild, using modern materials has been done at Warkworth, and the vessel was relaunched on 16 May 2009. She returned to sail later, and has been occasionally under sail in the Hauraki Gulf. She is the only original New Zealand scow still afloat to carry sail.

The ''[[USS Echo (IX-95)|Echo]]'' was built in 1905 of [[Kauri]] in [[New Zealand]]. She is 104 feet (32&nbsp;m) long, with two masts and topsail rigged. Twin diesel engines were installed in 1920. In 1942–44 she was used by US forces in the Pacific, see [[USS Echo (IX-95)]]. Her story was the basis for the 1960 film with [[Jack Lemmon]], [[The Wackiest Ship in the Army (film)|The Wackiest Ship in the Army]] and the 1965 [[The Wackiest Ship in the Army (film)|TV series]]. She was nearly broken up in 1990, but is now preserved at [[Picton, New Zealand]]
