The Wreck of the George R. Skofield
She was the biggest, the most famous, and possibly the most forlorn sailing ship ever stranded in Sea Isle City. On February 5, 1920, the George R. Skolfield ran aground at 25
th
Street – which proved to be the undignified end to her final voyage. She wasn’t salvaged. She was left to decay in the sand. She remained buried for a half-century. Then, in the 1970s, what remained of the George R. was finally resurrected and carried away.
