24 March 1900 Frederick W. Hill of Bangor Will Own a Speedy Schooner Yacht.


Frederick W. Hill of Bangor, has purchased from her owners in New York the speedy and handsome schooner yacht, SPERANZA and will bring her into eastern waters early in the coming season as the latest and one of the best additions to the pleasure fl eet of the Penobscot. The SPERANZA is a fi ne schooner measuring about 110 feet over all and with lines which have made her regarded as a beauty in the eyes of professional yachtsmen and amateurs alike. The sale to Mr. Hill was made through J. W. Haviland of New York. Last season Mr. Hill was the navigator


of the fi ne schooner TEMPEST, owned by Frank P. Wood of Bangor, who spent the summer ashore. He was at that. Mr. Hill was last season the navigator time vastly interested in eastern yachting and early last fall resolved to own a craft as soon as he could fi nd one suited to the waters


in which he proposed to sail her, and to his special wants. The SPERANZA is said to do both of these. She is handsomely fi tted and furnished and is now nearly ready to be brought east.


The SPERANZA is now lying at Fair Haven, Connecticut where she will be fi tted for her voyage to the Penobscot.
