She was 103 meters (338 ft) long, had a beam of 13.4 meters (44 ft), and 7 meters (23 ft) in depth. She was built by James Davidson in West Bay City, Michigan, for use on the Great Lakes. The Saginaw, Michigan newspaper The Courier-Herald described Pretorias launch on July 26, 1900, in the following way:{{quote|The schooner Pretoria, the largest wooden boat ever built, was launched at Davidson's shipyard this afternoon, in the presence of a vast multitude. The Pretoria will carry 5,000 tons of iron ore, 175,000 bushels of wheat, or 300,000 bushels of oats...}} To strengthen her wooden frame and hull, Pretoria was constructed using steel keelson plates, steel chords, and steel arches. She also was strapped diagonally with steel. She needed a donkey engine to run a pump to keep her interior dry. On 1 September 1905, Pretoria took on cargo at a pier in Superior, Wisconsin. Another notable ship, the lake freighter Sevona, took on cargo at the same pier shortly after Pretoria. Both ships sank the very next day near the Apostle Islands when a legendary gale sent them to the bottom of Lake Superior.[3][1] Notes1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Pretoria (1900) |url=http://www.wisconsinshipwrecks.org/Vessel/Details/509?region=Index |publisher=Great Lakes Shipwrecks}} {{Apostle Islands}}{{World's largest wooden ships}}{{1905 shipwrecks}}{{Registered Historic Places}}{{NRHP Lake Superior shipwrecks}}{{DISPLAYTITLE:Pretoria (ship)}}2. ^{{NRISref|2006a}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Keller|first=James H.|title=The Unholy Apostles|isbn=0-933577-001|pages=107–112}} 12 : 1900 ships|Ships built in Wisconsin|Schooner barges|Three-masted ships|Schooners|Barges of the United States|Maritime incidents in 1905|Shipwrecks of Lake Superior|Shipwrecks on the National Register of Historic Places in Wisconsin|National Register of Historic Places in Ashland County, Wisconsin|National Register of Historic Places in Bayfield County, Wisconsin|Ships built by James Davidson |
