Les premieres goelettes furent construites a Baltimore et ce genre de bateau s'implanta rapidement sur les deux cotes d'Amerique avant de gagner d'autres regions. Sur la cote Ouest, ils servaient surtout au transport du bois, sur la cote Est au transport du charbon.

The first schooners, which were built in Baltimore, quickly established themselves on both coasts of the USA and later in other areas as well. On the west coast, they were used for carrying timber and on the east coast mainly ship coal.
