Theodore S. Little commissioned Mistral to be built in 1938 from the plans of L. Francis Herreshoff, son of the "Wizard of Bristol" Nathaniel Herreshoff, at Britt Brothers boatyard. As hull number 73 she was the last of the 63'6" schooners built in typical Herreshoff tradition as a large, fleet-footed and swift vessel for American coastal waters.
During the war, Mistral with her silent propulsion was deployed to the submarine patrol of the US Coastguard, and years later wrote US Naval history when she was the first American Navy sail training ship to be sailed across the Atlantic under the command of a woman.
