tive council from the fifth district
He will be the last Waldo county rep
resentative on the board for some time,
as Knox or Hancock counties will be rep.
resented in the next three councils. Cap
tain Colcord, since retiring from the sea,
has shown good navigation on the politi-
cal coast. He was representative in the
73rd legislature from the Searsport class
towns and on his next trip was elected
senator from Waldo. After a brief stay
" ashore" he lands another berth of
honor. Captain Colcord is still two years
to the windward of the 60 year buoy. He
was born in Searsport, the son of Capt,
John P. Colcord, and is the last of d
family of five, three of whom were lost,
or died, at sea. He was studiously in
clined, and after graduating from Hamp.
den academy. taught school for two
years.
The call of the sea in the Colcord blood
was too strong, however, and he yielled,
rapidly working up to captains berth.
A Searsport man who was not captain of
a ship by the time he was 81 years old,
was considered almost unworthy to hal
from that port. Captain Colcord's COM
mands were all noble craft, large ard fit.
One of his first was the bark James G..
Pendleton, 937 tons, built at Newbury
port, in 1872, by Atkinson & Fillmore,
for James G. Pendleton of Searsport,
afterward hailing from Boston. His next
command was the ship Henry S. Sanford,
1101 tons, built at Bowdoinham, Me-, in
1869, and managed by the famous New
York firm of Pendleton, Carver &
Nichols.
The ship Centennial, built at East Bos-
ton by Smith & Townsend, in 1875, a
magnificent craft of 1886 tons, was at
one time commanded by Captain Colcord.
Two Of the best ships ever built in the
Bath shipyards were the Abner Coburn.
1879 tons, and the Governor Robe, 1921
tous, built and managed by the famous
sbipbuilder, William Rogers. Captain
Colcord made successful voyages in both
of these. Then he took the ship William
H. Conner, which was built and owned
in his native town of Searsport. The
