Glass Plate Negative, Mount Desert Rock Great Harbor Maritime Museum	Image, Photograph, Negative, Glass Plate Negative	Structures, Transportation, Lighthouse Vessels, Boat, Sailboat Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner	Lucy McMullin Dodge	1907-07			Glass Plate Negative, Mount Desert Rock Great Harbor Maritime Museum Identifier: ghmm-1550 Type: Image, Photograph, Negative, Glass Plate Negative Subject: Structures, Transportation, Lighthouse Vessels, Boat, Sailboat Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner Creator: Lucy McMullin Dodge Date: 1907-07 Description: A Gloucester fishing schooner sails not far from Mount Desert Rock under partial sail.

M______ is visible. William H. Bunting has (July 2021) identified this schooner as the Frances P. Mesquita, of Gloucester. Built in Gloucester in 1905, she was owned and commanded by Capt. Joseph Mesquita, and was both a successful fishing and racing vessel. She was sold in 1918 to owners from Newfoundland, and sunk by a U-boat that year. The envelope with this negative reads: No. 7 f., Tower, Single Tenement + Double Tenement, Looking N.W." and is likely an envelope reused from another negative. [show more]
