This is a photo of the "Connecticut" listed as hailing from Bar Harbor on the stern. Ralph Stanley indicated that she was built at Southwest Boat Corp. in 1946 and foundered off Gay Head Lighthouse on Sept. 29, 1948.
This picture shows several workmen on board doing various jobs. To the vessel's right on the float are piles of lumber and there is a makeshift bridge to use to get on board. There is also an open ladder next to the starboard side of the boat.
