| The “Helen McColl” was named for the daughter of the Seacoast Canning Company manager, Francis P. McColl. “The vessel “Helen McColl” “was often referred to as the “Queen” or “Flagship” of the Seacoast [Canning Company] fleet. She had fine lines, was long and narrow with two masts and no wheelhouse.” She was similar to the “Mildred McColl” built in 1913 and named for Helen’s mother, Mary Permelia “Mildred” (Smith) McColl. She was originally built [in 1911 by the Adams Ship Building Company at East Boothbay, Maine as a “knock about” schooner to be used to freight lobsters from Nova Scotia to Boston… She was 65 feet, seven inches long on the keel and 16 feet, six inches wide and built with natural-growth timbers. She was powered with an auxiliary engine and sails on her two masts. In 1912 she had work done to her in Lepreau, N.B. …In 1954, the Seaboard Packing Co. was sold to Stinson Canning Co. and they took over ownership of the “Helen McColl.” Her new Master was Kermit Thurston and he ran fish to Stinson’s factories in South West Harbor, Bath and Prospect Harbor, Maine.” - “Masts and Masters: A Brief History of Sardine Carriers and Boatmen” by John D. Gilman, published by John D. Gilman, 1993, p. 60-63. See the book for an extensive history of the McColl’s seagoing life and masters. “1911, 65’7” x 16’5” x 6’6” at East Boothbay for Seabord Packing Co. of Eastport. 36 Gross x 17 Net, call WAS757, No. 208535. Some of the skippers who worked her were Liscomb Hartford, Sumner Hartford, Ott Cline, Ned Hallett, Hal Grew, Sam Herley, Art Sirles, Heber McNeil. Arnie Cline in summer of 1918 ran her with Somerville Anderson. It has been recorded that the three master “Lillian E. Kerr,” the lumber schooner out of Machias, was towed through Lubec Narrow to a safe anchorage in Johnson’s Bay by the “McCall,” ahead of a bad spell of weather. In the middle 1960’s she was running fish to Bath. In the old days she made occasional pleasure trips across to N.S. to the Annapolis Valley cherry picking rinktums and shin digs. She was sold to Pacific Northwest.” - Sardine Carriers and Seiners of the Maine Coast compiled and written by Paul E. Bennett, The St. Pierre Doriman, p. 31 – 1992 with additions from “Canned: A History of the Sardine Industry,” Part II, by John Gilman, privately published, September 2003, p. 30. |

| Sardine carrier “Bessey L.” 36 hogsheads, 51’4” x 14’5” x 6’2” deep. She was built in 1905 at Lubec for Riviera Packing, Eastport, 27 GR T., 16 T NET. Call letters WC4221, Reg. #202066. She boated fish to the Holmes factories and in the late ‘40’s she worked herrin’ to the Maine Sardine Co. of Addison. She has been slowly dying in the Creek at Jonesport, Maine, since Skipper Adien Smith limped her in with a broken piston in April of 1973. She boated herrin’ for the Holmes factories at Robbinston and Eastport most of her life until the winter of ’72-’73 when she was rigged up for dragging scallops. When she was working the herrin’ she could carry 56 hogsheads… “Sardine Carriers and Seiners of the Maine Coast” compiled and written by Paul E. Bennett, The St. Pierre Doriman, p. 8, 12, 1992. |

| 13960 | Lou Ann - Sardine Carrier |
|
| “The “Lou Ann” was built in 1947 in Thomaston, Maine to be used as a sardine carrier. She was 85 feet long, had a round stern and would carry 101 hogsheads of herring. [1 hogshead (hhd) = 17 ½ bushels or 63 U.S. gallons.] She was built to carry herring to the Stinson Canning Company in Bath, Maine. The “Lou Ann” was rebuilt at Robin Hood Marina near Boothbay and converted into a purse-seiner. Her pilot house was moved forward to make more room down aft for the seine. …[She] was [later]re-converted to a sardine carrier … She now carries 75 hogsheads of herring and was still in use until the 1991 season… Early in the 1991 season, the “Lou Ann” was on her way to the factory at Prospect Harbour with fish aboard when she was steered to the wrong side of the buoy and struck a ledge. [She] sank in 75 feet of water and was later floated and towed to shore to assess the damage. It was decided that she would be put up for sale by tender “as is, where is,” on the beach at Prospect Harbour. She was sold and was rebuilt to work in the windjammer trade.” - “Masts and Masters: A Brief History of Sardine Carriers and Boatmen” by John D. Gilman, published by John D. Gilman, 1993, p. 100-101. She is 68’LWL x 17’6” x 8’4” with call letters of WC3444 and is #253584. An October 27, 1989 survey states that a fake funnel serves as access to her engine room. She has hard pine planking on 4” sided sawn frames x 6” at the keelson with white pine decking. She has a double hold, one measuring 46 hogsheads and the other measuring 56. “Lou Ann” struck the Old Woman Ledge just east of the R”2” GONG off Bunker Harbor on the east side of Schoodic at 3:30 am in black tick o’ fog on Sunday, July7, 1991 on her way from Seal Island towards the Stinson factory at Prospect Harbor. She had a belly full of herrin’ when she hit the ledge. He under water was hurt badly and she was hauled at Hinckley in Manset while her new owner Capt. Pagel re-built her into a 2-master as a sister ship to the schooner “Nathaniel Bowditch”. - “Sardine Carriers and Seiners of the Maine Coast” compiled and written by Paul E.
