Notes


The J.T. Morse was build in 1903 by William McKie in East Boston for the Eastern Steamship Corp. She was 214 ft. LOA and was powered by a 600 hp single beam engine. She ran from April to October or November each year on the Rockland to Bar Harbor run with many stops in between. On the morning of September day in 1910, the J.T. Morse collided with the Permaquid off the coast of Maine during her regular run between Rockland and Bar Harbor. She suffered considerable damage and was beached at Moose Island where the passengers and crew were safely evacuated. She was returned to service and sold to New York in 1933 and was removed from service in 1941.
