Description:
A Gloucester fishing schooner sails not far from Mount Desert Rock under partial sail. A number of people are visible on the deck, and a stack of dories can be seen between the masts. A large flag has the name of the vessel, which appears to be two words, though only Frances P. 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]
