Last week a five-masted schooner
sailed up the river at Belfast. This
was the Jennie Flood Kreger, built in
Belfast in the Matthews Bros, yards
in 1919 and launched on March 5.
This was the first schooner built in
Belfast in years and the last to
date, and very likely the last ever to
be built there. She was built under
the direction of the late Capt. Will
liam Kreger of Fairfield, who COM
manded her until his death and
named in honor of his wife. a WELL
known club woman and leader in the
republican party In Maine. This is
said to be the first time the schoon-
err has been as near her home port
since she sailed on her maiden voy-
