Encore, four-masted barkentine of 651 tons and 700 M capacity, was built at the North Bend Mill, North Bend, Oregon, for A. M. Simpson San Francisco, in 1897 and cost $30,000. On July 14, 1917, in 22 45'S, 171-42'E, the Encore was captured and burned by the German raider Wolf. The crew was taken aboard the raider and shared the experiences which have been related in a recent book; one group of the prisoners were cast away on the Danish coast and rescued by Danish authorities, but the rest were taken to Germany to spend the rest of the war period in prison camp.
