Year: 2006 Language: English Author: Ronnberg R. Genre: Manual Publisher: 2006 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 32 Description: ELSIE was designed by Thomas F. McManus of Boston and built in 1910 at the Authur D. Story Shipyard in Essex, Massachusetts for the Atlantic Maritime Co. of Boston. She was registered there until 1916. She was later sold to the Frank C. Pearce Co. of Gloucester, and in 1933 to Gorton Pew & Co. In 1934, the schooner was sold to Captain Levi Kearnly of Newfoundland. On January 19, 1935, returning from Gloucester after delivering a load of salt fish, her seams opened at the stem rabbet and she foundered in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The ELSIE is a classic, and probably most well known Gloucester schooner, so-named for the region's principal port. She was fitted with small dories for hand-line fishing the Atlantic coast. She was designed with a semi-knockabout schooner rig (forestay inboard on the bowsprit), reflecting the influence of the safer, but costlier, nockabout schooners (no bowsprit). She was outfitted with power after her 1921 race with the Canadian fishing schooner BLUENOSE, but it was removed in 1931. An early Howard Chapelle drawing shows a propeller fitted in the skeg forward of the rudder.
