ACCORDING to the shipbuilding bulletin
Just issued by the census bureau of the
United States, Maine has receded from
eighth place among the shipbuilding States
In 1880 to fourteenth place in 1905, while in
the value OF vessels built she has fallen
from third to ninth place. But there NAV
be small grain of satisfaction in the adj
dtional information cleaned from the same
bulletin, that in the building of small powar
boats Maine is exceeded by only four other
states, and in row boats, canoes and small
sailboats by only one other state-Michjgar.
LAST WEEKS STORM The most severe
storm of the season thus far set in Wednes-
day night, Nov. 9th. The rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied by southeast gale that
kicked up heavy sea in the harbor The
larger craft sustained no damage The
schooners Sarah L. Davis and Harriet
Rogers, anchored just above the steamboat
wharf, rode it out safely, as did the Maria
Webster, hay laden for Somesville, in the
upper harbor. The Puritan at the wharf
of the Belfast Fuel & Hay Co., loading hay
for Quincy, Mass, threatened to break
adrift at one time and come down on the
schooner Mary J. Elliott, loading at Coop.
ers' for Northeast Harbor and Capt. Turn
er, who was on board looking out for his
vessel, Stacked away his lines. Neither
vessel was damaged, but they jumped about
in a very lively manner. The smaller craft
were not SO fortunate. A sloop owned by
Capt. Daley of Ninalhaven broke adrift in
the upper harbor and went on the shore at
the Holt landing, sustaining some damage.
The little schooner Fancy, which arrived
Wednesday from Camden and was anchored
just above the steamboat wharf. parted her
chain and went stern first into the wharf of
the Belfast Fuel i Hay Co. Her mainb boom
went first and was broken into three pieces.
Then the stern got a pounding, carrying
away the rails and covering, but not break
ing the timbers Some three feet of the
rail on the port bow was carried away, but
the hull escaped without material damage.
The schooner had just been rebuilt at Cam
den, and came here to get new masts and
cargo of potatoes for trip south. She is 5
tons net and was built at Marblehead,
Mass, in 1858, She was at one time owned
in Stockton and was rebuilt there and given
new bow and stern. Her original oak
timberS are sound as a nut and " hen she
arrived here she was practically as good as
new. At Little River the sch. L. Snow,
Jr., Capt. Herrick, was driven high up on
the shore. She was loading cord wood for
BlackingtOn and had only six cords aboard
The schooner was not much damaged, and
it is hoped by digging away the beach to be
able TO haul her off. The Snow was built at
Essex, Mass. in 1851 and at one time was
owned by the late II. 9. Pitcher aud others
and ran as packet to Deer Isle. E. FL.
KnowltOn missed a rowboat he had at
Little River but found it later on the shore
at Murphy's Point. There were a number
ofnaphtha launches at mooriugs including
those OF the Dickey Bros, Clarence E. Read.
w. c. Coombs, Ralph Strout and the Drexel
launch Atrypa, but all escaped injury,
although the Wiggin launch dragged to
within few feet of the wharf at the PEN
dleton ship yard. She has since been haul
ed up at Macombers On land we hear of
no damage of consequence. Limbs were
broken from trees and telephone and cleo
trio wires crossed Or broken The L. Snow.
Jr, above reported ashore at Little River
was got off Sunday and resumed loading.
At Saturday Cove a small yacht was thrown
up on the shore and split in two, and an
otner yacht was driven ashore. Some dam
age was done to the wharf at the Meth0
Dust Campground and the sea wall at F. b.
knoWlton's and an adjoining cottage was
washed away.
