"Sylvina Beal" during Wartime Mount Desert Island Historical Society	Image, Photograph, Photographic Print		Ballard, W.H.	WWII		"Sylvina Beal" during Wartime Mount Desert Island Historical Society Identifier: mdihs-13300 Type: Image, Photograph, Photographic Print Creator: Ballard, W.H. Date: WWII Description: Paul Stubing indicated that this picture of the vessel "Sylvina W. Beal" was taken during wartime. The hull ID # is 208896. The lettering "R. J. PEACOCK CANNING CO." appears on her port bow beneath her name. Two Gulf gas pumps are visible off her starboard side. "Baby Rose" is tied up alongside the "lower town dock". Two lobster boats are tied up to the floats off Sylvina's bow. According to John D. Gilman's , "Masts and Masters - a brief history of Sardine Carriers and Boatmen", the "Sylvina Beal" was built in 1911 at East Boothbay for Charles Henry Beal of Jonesport, Maine, to be used as a banks fishing schooner and later used as a lobster freighter from Nova Scotia to Boston. She was 71 feet 7 inches in length. In 1917, she was bought by the Seacoast Co. and converted to a sardine carrier and repowered with a 100-horsepower Chrysler gasoline motor. In 1926, she was repowered with a straight eight Chrysler marine engine and a wheel house was added to her in East Boothbay under Peacock and Pike ownership. In 1929, she was bought by R.J. Peacock Canning Co. for $5,000. When the R.J.Peacock Canning Co. closed, she was sent to Southwest Harbor to "die". Eventually, the Beal was sold to Captain John Worth of Belfast in 1980 to be reconverted to her "original form" and used as a windjammer in the coastal schooner trade. After an idle season in 1989, she was sold to Captain Geoffrey Jones who sails her out of Greenport, Long Island, N. Y. [show more]

Lock missing. Originally a flint lock musket. This type of arm was most widely used by both sides in the American Revolution. Having an effective range of less than a hundred yards, these guns were emplyed in massed fire. The smoke from the first volley obscured the enemy, so subsequent volleys were delivered in the right general directions. In 72 or 76 caliber, the ball was nearly 3/4” in diameter. The gun was converted to a caplock civilian shotgun, probably between 1820 and 1835. .76 caliber. [show more]
