Schooner-5 DAVIS PALMER
Schooner-5 DAVIS PALMER at Mack Point pier, Searsport, in 1908 The Wreck of the Davis Palmer In 1909 the ship worked her way through the gale force winds until she had nearly cleared the Graves, outer ledges in Boston Harbor. But the storm soon drove the Davis Palmer onto FinnÆs Ledge. From there she drifted into Broad Sound and sank. Fourteen of her crew died in the wreck. Bodies would wash ashore in the weeks to come; some never turned up.
