Note :
The first schooner ever constructed is said to have been built in Gloucester ,
Massachusetts ,
about the year 1713 ,
by a Captain Andrew Robinson ,
and to have received its name from the following trivial circumstance :
When the vessel went off the stocks into the water ,
a bystander cried out ,"
O ,
how she scoons !"
Robinson replied , "
A scooner let her be ;"
and ,
from that time ,
vessels thus masted and rigged have gone by this name .
The word scoon is popularly used in some parts of New England to denote the act of making stones skip along the surface of water .
The Scottish scon means the same thing .
Both words are probably allied to the Icel .
skunda ,
skynda ,
to make haste ,
hurry ,
AS .
scunian to avoid ,
shun ,
Prov .
E .
scun .
In the New England records ,
the word appears to have been originally written scooner .
Babson ,
in his "
History of Gloucester ,"
gives the following extract from a letter written in that place Sept .
25 ,
1721 ,
by Dr .
Moses Prince ,
brother of the Rev .
Thomas Prince ,
the annalist of New England : "
This gentleman (
Captain Robinson )
was first contriver of schooners ,
and built the first of that sort about eight years since ."
