Bangor Shipbuildina Notes

Good progress is being made on
the four masted schooner on the
stocks at the old Stetson shipyard
in Brewer, now operated by the Ban
gor- Brewer Shipbuilding Co, and the
keel for a second schooner Of about
, the same size will be put down at
once in the same yard. Early in the
season q company was organized to
| take over the old Crosby yard on the
Bangor side, nearly opposite. but not
until last week has anything been
done.
Work will soon be under way IN a
! four-masted schooner for Capt. +. p.
Hardy, a well-known Bangor master
mariner, who recently arrived at an
Atlantic port, bringing a million
dollar cargo of rubber through the
U-boat danger zone. This yard is to
be operated by the Bangor Ship
building Co. Much of the native lum-
Der for the vessels will be obtained
around Penobscot and Washington
counties. The three vessels in sight
will be owned almost entirely by Ban
gor and Brewer people, and there
seems no trouble in disposing of 800
shares. The privilege of naming the
vessel which will be launched early
this fall is to be sold at auction for
the benedt Of the Red Cross.
