Starboard side deck view looking forward aboard schooner-6 ALICE M. LAWRENCE aground on Tuckernut Shoal in Nantucket Sound in 1914 Salvagers have removed booms and sails. see also LB2013.21.1175The schooner Alice M. Lawrence struck Tuckernuck Shoal the evening of December 5, 1914. The Revenue cutter Acushnet went to the Alice M. Lawrence's assistance and would have pulled it off, if not for the fear of the schooner's captain that it would fill with water and sink. The evening after it struck, 60 mph winds drove the schooner higher on the shoal and seas battered it heavily. Subsequent gales broke the vessel's back before local wreckers could attempt to refloat it.
