Tug and Six-Masters
Firstly, none of vessels has a decipherable name board. That said, in the foreground, we have a steam-powered tugboat with two six-masted schooners, somewhat of a rarity, in the background. By 1910, only 10 six-masted schooners had been built in Bath, Maine and in towns on Penobscot Bay. Therefore, these are two of the folowing:
George W. Wells Camden 1900
Eleanor A. Percy Bath 1900
Addie M. Lawrence Bath 1903
William L. Douglas Quincy 1903
Alice M. Lawrence Bath 1904
Ruth E. Merrill Bath 1904
Edward B. Winslow Bath 1906
Mertie B. Crowley Rockland 1907
Edward J. Lawrence Bath 1908
Wyoming Bath 1909
