The prairie schooner, a covered wagon used by pioneers in the 19th century, typically carried around 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of supplies. This included essentials like food, clothing, tools, and personal belongings for the journey westward. The design allowed for ample storage space while being lightweight enough to be pulled by oxen or horses.

How many people can a topsail schooner carry?
The short answer would be that it depends. On quite a few factors. Not the least of which is size. A 15' topsail schooner could carry 1-3, a 150' would obviously carry more. The terminology "topsail schooner" only refers to the ship's sail plan, and can therefore be a ship of any size. And while this typically refers to a ship with two masts, the term has also been applied to those with more than two. However assuming we knew the size then it depends on the layout of the ship. How open is the deck, what are the sleeping accommodations ect. If the ship is designed almost exclusively for day sailing it can obviously carry more people than if it was designed with cabins for each of its passengers. As an example, the 148' Windy II (Could be called a Topsail Schooner, but it is technically a Barquentine) can accommodate 150 passengers for chartered cruises. But in comparison, the 143' Bluenose II (Not a topsail schooner, just a regular schooner) only accommodates 75 passengers. Anyways, I'm sorry that it isn't probably the answer you wanted, but I do hope that it at least helps!
Why was the Schooner wagon considered faster than others?
I'm not aware of the schooner wagon being faster. However, the difference I am aware of is the schooner wagon used no draft animals to pull it. Instead it had a sail and the wind provided the force to propel the wagon, much like a ship at sea.
