The oil painting of the schooner NANCY HANKS was created by Antonio Jacobsen in 1918, soon after it was launched. Most of the ship’s portraits we have explored during Peek into Paintings are from the mid to late 1800s. Why was there a brief resurgence in wooden shipbuilding in the late 1910s?

The ship S.F. HERSEY had a colorful history, most notably losing three Searsport captains in less than three years. Even the delivery of the ship's planking and spars for building ended in disaster, with the delivery vessel sinking in a gale and the captain Forrest Treat losing appendages to frostbite.  He is pictured above with two of his canes.  Come learn more at April's Member Monday on April 12 at noon.
