English: Handwritten on verso: J.W. Clise, 4 m. schooner 845 tons. Built by the Globe Construction Co. at Ballard under the supervision of T.C. Reed and the design of Naval Architect L.H. Collidge in 1904. She was named after the general manager of Globe Navigation, James W. Clise. In 1908 she made the trip from San Francisco to Cape Flattery, Washington in 3 days, under Captain E.N. Smith. She was purchased in 1914 by the Port Blakeley Mill Co., and then sold in 1916 to Porsgrund Motor & Sail Co. of Norway for $50,000. These owners then sold her to L.A. Scott of Mobile, Alabama, in 1923. In 1940, J.W. CLISE was abandoned at sea off the Gulf of Mexico after being wrecked in a storm. She was towed back to Mobile and beached, serving as a yacht club until the 1950's when she was demolished to make room for housing development (p. 60, 107, 147, 265, 342, 468, 483).
