I don't think so, The Star appears to be three masted, however further
perusal of the site turns up "The Californian", a replica of a 19th
century cutter, she's a better candidate.

Marty,

Charlie Morgan as usual has it correct, it is the America. You can tell by
the relative height of the masts.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and a blind hog finds an

Tell what? That it's a schooner? Yep

A better giveaway is the rake of the masts and the arrangement of the
headsails, which is somewhat different from the original 'America' but
also noticeably different from most other schooners.

The Californian, at least in pictures I have seen, always has at least
one yard crossed on her foremast.
