Palmer launch at Bath

In the twilight of the great wooden shipbuilding era, William F. Palmer of Boston commissioned shipyards in Bath and Waldoboro, Maine, to build a fleet of 12 five masted schooners. The George L. Welt yard in Waldoboro (our former home town) built six of these schooners between 1900 and 1904. The launching of the Paul Palmer is seen here in a remarkable photo taken on the banks of the Medomak River in 1902. She was 276' feet in length with a gross tonnage of 2193. The Paul Palmer was lost in a fire off Cape Cod, Massachusetts on June 15, 1913.
