The PROVINCETOWN I underway near South Bristol, Maine in 1973. Economic twists and turns and over-competition made service between Boston and Provincetown a revolving door of steamship operators since 1842. The Bay State-Spray & Provincetown Steamship Company's PROVINCETOWN I began service in 1973 as the first big Boston boat of the modern era. Commissioned by the company founder, Dick Nakashian, she was designed by John Gilbert and built at Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine.
