Fate

According to this, the Whittemore was lost in '27; it was then registered British.

The Globe has an article about the ship and the sinking, which I can't see, because I am ~~too cheap to pay for it~~ away from a library with decent newspaper archives. Qwirkle (talk) 18:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. RobDuch (talk) 03:54, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No charge. Looking at the big-ship registry (Am. Doc. Seagoing Merchant Vessels of 500 Gross Tons and Over), I see that ‘’Whittemore’’ was a Boston boat in ‘26. It’d be good for someone, perhaps someone in the land of coffee milk, to get a look at that Globe article. Ships have been rebuilt or repurposed or beached after worse. (Cites for the 26 siting when I’m on a PC, not a pad.) Qwirkle (talk) 16:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
