Ship, 51 With the exception of the structure aft of the funnels, the overall appearance of this steamer suggests that it is either the Camden (1907) or the Belfast (1909) of the Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc. Both steamers operated on Boston - Bangor Line calling on Boston - Rockland - Camden - Bucksport - Winterport - Bangor. The Belfast and the Camden were unable to continue service in Maine due to changes in Navigation laws (after the loss of Morro Castle) which required the ships to have double bottoms which neither ship had. Last service was in 1935. Specifications for both vessels Length 320.5 Breadth 40.0 Draught 16.1 Gross tonnage 2153.0 Speed 18 knots
