Show Details
She was one of the last two square riggers built in Maine. She lies to the Dunn & Elliot Wharf in the Georges River at the intersection of Wadsworth and Water Streets, now owned by the Lyman Morse Boatbuilding Company.
She was lost off Barnegat on the New Jersey coast with a cargo of railroad ties when she broke up on Feb. 17, 1927.
The Maine State Prison wall, a band of white, can be seen on Limestone Hill, in the middle right of the photo.
