The fishing boats WINIFRED WORTH and MINNIE V. New Bedford piers

LB1995.72.124

WINFRED WORTH and MINNIE V. Atlantic Fisherman ran stories from up and down the East Coast. Here in Portland are three vessels, in September of 1925, when engine-only fishing vessels were starting to become more common. Minnie V is new, a fifty-footer built in Kennebunkport in 1925 for Minnie V. Nickerson of Fairhaven. The others look to be schooners that have had engines installed and were being converted to dragging nets.
