The four-masted barkentine Cecil P. Stewart, 1216 tons, was one of last two square-riggers built in Maine. She was a sister ship of the Reine Marie Stewart, also built in Thomaston by Dunn and Elliot in 1919. The vessel was later rigged as a schooner with fore and aft rig on all masts.

The vessel was lost off Barnegat on the New Jersey coast with a cargo of railroad ties when she went aground and broke up on Feb 17, 1927.
