Summary

[edit]
Description

The interior of the Provincetown public library, formerly the Center Methodist Church, and then the Provincetown Heritage Museum. When it moved into the space, the Library was remodeled to incorporate (rather than to remove and destroy) a half-scale replica of the Provincetown-built Grand Banks fishing schooner Rose Dorothea. On August 1, 1907, the Rose Dorothea won the Lipton's Cup, despite breaking one of her masts, in the first and only Fisherman's Race, a 42-mile race from Provincetown to Gloucester to Boston. The original vessel was was sold in 1916 to a Newfoundland company that used her to ferry salt and other supplies to Portugal. In February 1917, a German U-Boat submarine surfaced next to the schooner as she neared the coast of Lisbon, and then, after allowing her crew to evacuate in lifeboats, sank her.[1]

The Heritage Museum commissioned the replica sixty years later, in 1977, and construction began. Eleven years after that, it was dedicated on June 25, 1988. The completed model spans a 66’6” length and a 12’6” beam. The original vessel was 108.7 feet long, weighed 108 tons and had a crew of 26 men.[2]
