According to Harold Sniffen the Granville R. Bacon was a three-masted schooner, built in 1911 by Bethel Marine Railway Co, Bethel, Delaware for G. V. Wooten Co., Seaford, Delaware. Jeanne Willoz-Egnor, of the Mariner's Museum adds "While headed from Camden, Maine to New York the ship went ashore on a sandbar off Weekapaug beach (Rhode Island) during a gale on December 20, 1933. The vessel was grounded because the captain apparently mistook a street lamp for a light on a passing vessel.
The Jesse Hart II was built in Waldoboro, Maine in 1866 and lasted until 1919.
The tug Arrow was built in Brooklyn in 1881 for a tug company in New York."
This work was seen by Mr. Sniffen after the publication of the second addendum to the Checklist.
