Alexander M. Lawrence
Alexander M. Lawrence was the last of the 19th-century sailing schooners to be in the New York pilot boat service as a station boat. She was one of the largest and fastest in the Sandy Hook fleet. She was built to take the place of the New York pilot-boat "Abraham Leggett", No. 4, that was hit by the steamship "Naples", in 1879. Her boat model won a medal at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair illustrating the perils of the pilot-boat service. In the age of steam, the "Lawrence" was sold by the Pilots' Association to the Pacific Mining and Trading Company in 1897.
