tonnage of 39 tons. She was fitted with an 80-horsepower gasoline 

 engine. As the owners had in view using this vessel during part of 

 the year in fishing also, they tried to adapt her for both purposes, 

 with the result that she proved somewhat unsatisfactory for either 

 and was sold in 1913. 



In 1914 the same company built another power vessel, the Pirate, 

 to replace her. She is a two-masted schooner with knockabout rig 

 and has a length over all of 64 feet 6 inches and a breadth of 21 feet.

The hold is 6 feet 10 inches deep and 23 feet long, which provides a 

 carrying capacity of 100 tons. The after cabin has accommodations 

 for the captain and two men. The galley and mess room also are 

 located here. The forecastle provides sleeping quarters for six men. 

 The engine room is just forward of the pilot house, from which the 

 main engine is controlled, thus permitting the captain to operate the 

 engine as well as the vessel. The propelling machinery consists of 

 an 80-horsepower engine, while a 9-horsepower windlass is used for 

 handling cargo. It is the company's purpose to use this vessel in 

 fishing during the summer months and in freighting in local waters 

 the rest of the year.
