Additional Details:
One of the most popular in the area. It had three decks, built of wood, which extended the entire length of the vessel. The pilot house was on the hurricane deck, and on this deck were lifeboats and rafts, the boats being hung on davits outboard and the rafts lying on deck at the outside rail. Janet and Roger Campbell Collection, Slocum Memorial Committee, Queens Historical Society.
