Capt. Frisbee of R. H. White’s yacht PEREGRINE has resigned his position on account of ill health. His successor is Capt. A. W. Rich of Bucksport, who was for quite a time in command of the FORMOSA owned by Mr. Fabian of Boston. Capt. Frisbee’s last visit to Bath, the birthplace of the PEREGRINE, was last summer when the craft was repaired at the Bath Iron Works, the result of being run down by one of the Eastern Steamship Co.’s steamers in Boston harbor.
The new four-masted schooner JAMES B. DRAKE, Capt. Sawyer, was towed to sea from Bath, Monday afternoon, by the tug SEGUIN, bound for Brunswick, Georgia, for a cargo of hard pine for New York. The craft made a pretty picture going down stream with all her bunting waving and attracted lots of attention from people along the river front. The river was entirely free from ice except along the banks. There are few if any harbors along the Atlantic coast which are as free from ice, as the harbor of the Shipping City at the present time. It is thought that the SARAH C. ROPES formerly commanded by Capt. W. R. Kreger of Fairfi eld and which recently went ashore on the coast of Duboy, Georgia, can be fl oated, and that her days of usefulness are not yet over, which will be good news to Captain Kreger’s friends, many of whom in this vicinity have enjoyed the captain’s hospitality on this vessel on various trips. The barkentine ETHEL V. BOYNTON owned in Machias arrived in New York Saturday, and reported striking a supposed submerged wreck of Cape Henry causing the vessels to leak badly. She put into Norfolk in distress and was towed to New York by the tug WALTER A. LUCKENBACH. Lightship 74 broke from her chains during the storm Friday and drifted out to sea. Capt. John E. Ladd was on deck at the time and he succeeded in acting promptly in keeping her from the rocks. They had a fearful afternoon and night. After a while they got up steam and slowly worked back. The storm was fearfully high, snow and rain falling, with the wind at the tempest point. The lightship was not in position until
Tuesday.
27 January 1904 Schooner E. H. KING Lost
Little Eastport Vessel Wrecked Near Jonesport – The Crew Were Saved.
Jonesport, January 27.
Unable to hold her course owing to a dense vapor which arose from the sea the little Eastport schooner E. H. KING struck Browney’s island Tuesday and will be a total loss. Her captain and crew of four men succeeded in reaching shore in safety. The KING was bound from New York for Eastport with a cargo of coal and had a hard passage all the way down the coast. Monday afternoon she strayed far from her true course and early Tuesday morning while the captain thought he was making his way into Eastport harbor the vessel struck Browney’s island and was completely wrecked. Little diffi culty was experienced in clearing away a yawl boat and a few minutes later the captain and crew were safe on short. During the day the wreck and her cargo were sold to local parties and the working of salvage was begun.
The E. H. KING was one of the veterans of the Maine coasting fl eet, having been built in Trenton, Maine, in 1805. She was owned in Eastport and hailed from that port. She as 106 tons gross, 89 tons net, 85 feet in length, 24.9 beam and 7.8 feet deep in hold.
29 January 1904 With the Ships Bucksport Schooner A. M. NICHOLSON Lost in St. Lawrence Sued the Stevedores
Trefethen & Dugan of Portland and Bangor with Steamship FREMONA for $5000
Bangor men will be interested in the dispatch from Gloucester regarding the Bucksport schooner A. M. NICHOLSON. It is said that she is now abandoned about the Gulf of St. Lawrence, frozen in an ice fi eld. A crew of nine men, including the captain, are reported to have abandoned the NICHOLSON while off the Bay of St. George, N. F.
The schooner A. M. NICHOLSON was one of the frozen herring fl eet, several of which have met disaster before this. She was built in Essex, Massachusetts in 1900 and is of 136 gross tons. She is 105 feet long and a comparatively new vessel. She was owned in Bucksport. The captain and crew escaped, it is reported by a ten mile trip across the frozen ice to shore.
