| Description |
Ship built by Marlboro Packard 1877 in Searsport, Maine. The William H. Conner was the last and largest full-rigged ship built in Searsport (1877), costing over $100,000. Apparently in three voyages she earned her construction costs, but that was the exception; 15% was closer to the rule. Marlboro Packard was her master builder, working at the Carver yard. The Museum has his half model of the vessel. Such a vessel would have attracted much attention including that of artist Percy Sanborn from neighboring Belfast. He may have painted her shortly after she was launched or received a commission later on in his career. Listed in the Register until 1898, finally turned into a barge and sunk off Sandy Hook. |
