Esperanto was a fishing schooner based in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Esperanto was designed by Thomas F. McManus of Boston and built by James and Tarr Shipbuilders of Essex, Massachusetts. She was launched on June 27, 1906, and measured 107 feet (33 m) in length, 25 feet (7.6 m) in beam, and a draft of 11 feet (3.4 m) with gross register tonnage of 140.
The Esperanto was used in several races and is one of only two undefeated champions at the International Fisherman's Cup.

Thomas Himmelman. In the next race, in 1921, the Canadian sailing ship Bluenose, built in Lunenburg after the model of Esperanto, won against the schooner Elsie from Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Her crew for the 1920 race included:
