The Lyman D. Foster was an ocean-going, cargo-carrying, wooden sailing vessel named after the son of a provisions merchant who invested in vessels. Built at the Hall Brother's shipyard at Port Blakely, Washington (state), U.S.A. in 1892, she was 184 feet long with a 39-feet beam and 15.4 feet depth, and had a tonnage of 778 GRT. She had three separate incarnations. Initially a four-masted schooner for the West Coast lumber trade, she was dismasted in April 1913 in a hurricane, and abandoned.

She had three separate incarnations. Initially a four-masted schooner for the West Coast lumber trade, she was dismasted in April 1913 in a hurricane, and abandoned. Her recovered hull was sold to the Government of Fiji and fitted out with machinery becoming the suction dredge, Lady Escott. In 1917, she was made seaworthy and re-rigged as a four-masted barquentine—once again as the Lyman D. Foster—for owners based in Auckland, New Zealand. The Lyman D. Foster was last seen leaving Nukuʻalofa, Tonga on 26 March 1919 bound for San Francisco, with cargo of copra. On 29 October 1919, the vessel was posted as 'missing' by Lloyds, and remains so, over a century after her disappearance.
