Prince Louis Schooner was a 3 masted schooner that was originally a Norwegian timber ship converted. Around the 1950's it was used as training purposes for the Navy and outward bound courses.
Does anyone have any original info on it or know where I can go to get some? Have tried the web extensively and have found nothing!!!!!

I wonder if this is the schooner? If so, perhaps this is why you can't find anything on it.
Published: August 29, 1983 : A diver who spent days stapling more than 4,000 plastic trash bags to a sunken three-masted schooner in Los Angeles Harbor began inflating the bags today in an attempt to refloat it. The 300-ton, 120-foot-long Prince Louis, built in 1921, sank a year ago. The diver, Chris Scott, has purchased the vessel. He hopes to raise money for its restoration. There's also reference to a schooner of this name in the second link, but can't work out how to access further info! Good luck

I attended the Moray Sea School in 1950 (?) and sailed on the schooner from Burghead to Invergordon ant then towards Norway but had to turn back due to the bad weather. Only 2 of us on deck and the landlubbers lying down below. Wonderful experience. The other on deck was named Mc.Gowan. We slept on deck covered with wet weather gear.
