Description |
English: Handwritten on image: "Reaper" Sunday am, 7/21/6, Ludlow The REAPER was built at Bath, Maine, in 1876 and was of 1,469 tons register, originally belonging to the fleet of Arthur Sewall and was classed by seamen as one of the more notorious "hell ships" of the American merchant marine. On July 21, 1906, she caught fire while she lay at the Port Ludlow mill dock. By the following afternoon the bark's lumber cargo was burning stubbornly, and her lines were cut and she was hauled to the opposite side of the bay and beached, where she burned herself out. (pg. 126) Notes from Gordon Newell, ed., The H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle: Superior Publishing Co, 1966).
