Description:
Photo, b&w snapshot, Wilfred Bunker (looking up) and Clarence Beal on board their lobster smack, Silas McClune. Per Ralph Stanley August 2016: The Silas McClune was built for the A. C. McClune Co. in Rockland. They were lobster dealers. Beal & Bunker bought the boat in the 1950s. They had the wet wells plugged and used it as a freight boat. They caught hake fish at GCI and took it to Vinalhaven for sale. Buster Rice was the captain. Beal & Bunker sold the boat to Arnold Allen who had a seining outfit. Ralph believes the boat went ashore and might be beneath the sewer plant in Southwest Harbor. (See also 2018.416.2824C.) [show more]
