No, sorry, not the Victory Chimes.

Good evening, Anja (hope I got it right this time!)

 

It is not the Sunset Glow either.  Right part of the world, though!

 

This one was built for the Coal, Stone and Lumber trades and met a most disagreeable end.

Nope, not the Thayer.  Wrong coast.  Here is a shot of the poor beast meeting her fate...

Congratulations, St. George! 

 

L. Snow & Co., Rockland, Me., launched the three-masted schooner Wawenock in 1907, built for themselves to ply in the coal, stone and lumber trades. Her dimensions are as follows: Length 135.9 ft., breadth 34.3 ft., depth 9.8 ft. She has a gross tonnage of 325, her net tonnage being 258.

 

The story of the wreck is well told in Bertram G. Snow’s The Main Beam, published in 2005 by the Rockland Historical Society with massive contributions of research and photographs by Doug and Linda Lee. The 325-ton Wawenock was loaded with granite curbing stone and was sailing from Sullivan, Maine, towards New York in December of 1928. After temporarily snagging on a ledge in Jericho Bay on the 30th, Capt. Anders Anderson stayed in the area, waiting for better weather. The morning of January 10, 1929, anchored east of Isle au Haut, the crew woke to a southeast snow storm, blowing hard. Capt. Anderson decided to raise the anchor and sailed up the Bay in extremely poor visibility. The schooner struck the ledges on the west side of Fog Island and the men could hear water pouring into the vessel. Not waiting for the captain’s orders, the crew lowered the yawl boat and left the schooner. Soon after, the vessel (still under full sail) freed herself from the ledge and continued on her way, with the yawl boat following. Eventually the crew could see that the schooner had run on the rocks on McGlathery Island, and they continued on to Stonington to report.

That didn't take you too long...

 

It is Indrapoera. One of the ships of the Rotterdamsche Lloyd,

build for the regular trips to the east.

Yes it is Wayne. I removed the name and the flag.

She was built in 1886 and sold for scrap in 1910. She had two sister ships the Engeland and the Duitschland. The Duitschland was renamed in 1916 to the Zeeland and used as a Hospital Ship.

Thanks, David.  That is a very pretty sidewheeler - I like!

 

Seeing we had a request for some Subs, try this one next!  Bonus credit if you can also identify the ship in the background...

Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.
