A CORRECTION. In the article in The Jour
nal of March End on "Barks and Briggs" in
a part of the article. The topsail schooner
Hudson of 1874 tons, built by the late master
John Carver in 1888, was lost while in COM
mand of Capt Nehemiah Roulstone of Sears
port somewhere on the southern coast while
engaged in the lumber trade. The brig Hud-
son which was abandoned at sea, while in COM
mand of the late Capt. Dennis Griffin on the
passage from Cambridge, Md. to searsport.
was bought in New York by the late Capt.
Benjamin Carver, LIST, and was first command
ed by his brother, the late Capt. James N. Car
yer, after she was brought to Searsport. Later
she was commanded by Capts. George Knights,
Charles K. Sawyer and Raymond Blanchard,
after which Capt. Dennis Griffin took COM
mand of her and sailed her until she was
abandoned at sea in 1865, when Capt. Griffin
and his crew were taken off and landed at
Hamburg, Germany. The Hudson while in
command of Capt. Griffin in the many years
that he sailed her almost always had Sears
port crew, many of them youngsters making
their first voyage on her. Capt. A. H. Lori
mer and Rufus E. Sargent, both now living in
Searsport, and who sailed with Capt. George
Knight in the Hudson, state that she was a
brig of about $50 tons and was very familiar

goes of lumber and ship timber here that was
used in the construction of vessels in the
palmy ship-building days Of Searsport. Capt.
Joseph N. Putnam, now 81 years of age, and
living on Main street was first officer with
Capt. Blanchard on a trip to Charleston, S. c.
