I was on board her in 1967 for a tour. Our yacht, "The Locura", an old 70 foot Annapolis owned by my Dad had tied up behind her in San Diego on our way to Mexico that summer. I was 14 years old at the time.

The Goodwill was 161 foot long 2 masted schooner. She won the Trans Pacific race 2 times during the 50's.

Mr. Archer who writes of his experience with the ship in 1965 has captured what it must have been like with her alcoholic owner and sailing the seas with little or no experience.

Goodwill sank off of Sacramento Reef outside of Cabo San Lucas in 1969 taking everyone on board her at the time to a watery grave..
