The Thomas w. lawson was built in
Quincy, Mass, in 1902 This was her first
voyage to transatlantic port. She was
5,21s gross tons and 8,914 net tons, $3.50
feet long, so feet wide, and 2.9 deep.
The vessel piled between Boston and
Philadelphia and Baltimore in the coal
carrying trade until March, 1906, when
she was leased TO the Sun Oil Co., one OF
the companies allied to the Standard Oil
Co.. to carry Oil in bulk from Port Arthur,
Tex, to New York and Philadelphia. She
was the first sailing vessel to be employed
in this ira e.
lawson was originally designed, she car
ried S,1o0 tons. The government made an
unsuccessful attempt to secure the
schooner to carry coal from Norfolk to
San Francisco.
The Lawson was taken to Philadelphia
when chartered for the oil trade and fitted
with oil tanks. At the time Of the acci-
times her own weight. So successful did
the schooner prove in the oil trade that
she is said to have paid for herself many
times over. The loss on the vessel is esti-
mated at 10000; that on the cargo is
placed at S150,000. Thomas W. lawson
was the largest owner, he having $4,000
invested in the schooner.
A dispatch received yesterday from the
London salvage association say the Law
son has broken in two, and vessel and
cargo will be . total loss.
This was Capt. Dow's first trip in the
vessel, and it was also the first trip Of the
lawson across the Atlantic. By curious
coincidence another Ellsworth man, Capt.
Horace F. Lord, Of Green Lake, was Of
fered the command Of the lawson for this
trip. 1t is the common talk among sea-
faring men that the lawson was not q
safe vessel for a transatlantic trip, and
loaded with oil la bulk, many predicted
that she would turn turtle before she got
across.
