Republican Journal; Peter Ward,
who is now in his S5th year, is the
only surviving member of the crew of
ship carpenters which worked on the
ship John Bunyan, built in Master
John Carver's shipyard in 1850 for the
late Capt. Amos Nichols. The ship
fell over on the stocks while under
construction and was righted by Mas
ter Lowe, Boston rigger, who died a
few years ago. The Bunyan ended her
DAYS on the Harding Lodges, near Bos-
ton light. as a coal barge. Mr.. Ward
is now hale and hearty, having re-
tired from shipyard life when the
steamer Amadis was constructed in
1894. and which ended this industry in
Searsporf that had continued very
successfully for over so years.
