This is my story and I am sticking to it. My Grandfather often took me on his visits to downtown N.Y.City. On one of our trips we went by a building
with a ship model in the window. The ship model was of the Lawson. I was told by my grandfather that it was his fathers ship and that it was a
bad sailer and his father hated the ship and never sailed on her again. I am 74 and that was a long time ago. My grandfather was a Tug boat captain
New York harbour. There also is a model of her in one of the museums in Searsport Maine. Amazing what one remembers from childhood.
