Mary
was laid down as a two masted schooner by Friedrich Krupp
Germaniawerft in Kiel, and was launched in 1920. She was
sold two years later to Danish owners and renamed
Familiens Haab, then the following years to Sweden where
she was renamed Komet. She operated in the Baltic
Sea until she was decommissioned in 1970. Due to the
loss of the original whaling museum ship Carthaginian in
Hawaii, the company had to find a replacement and bought
Komet in 1973. She was renamed to Carthaginian II and
served as a floating whaling museum in Lahaina Harbor from
1980. In 2003 she was sold to be scuttled as a dive and
tourist attraction, and 13. December 2005 she was towed
out of the harbor and scuttled near Puemana Beach. The
wreck rest today on her keel on a depth of 30 to 35 meter.
