Must be before 1925. Eastern Steamship Company's brand new 214-foot wooden side-wheeler J.T. MORSE pulls away from Sargentville. She ran through Eggemoggin Reach from 1905 to 1910, stopping at Sargentville, Brooklin, Deer Isle, and South Brooksville. After 1910, her route between Rockland and Bar Harbor became more direct, and the smaller steamer BOOTHBAY took over The Reach. The J. T.
