CAHC 2006.35.66Description
The 194-foot wooden barge "Pine Tree #1" on the left was launched from Camden shipyard February 8, 1943. The largest wooden vessel built in the nation since the 1920s, it was the first of many to be built to relieve the fuel transportation problem by carrying coal. Members of the Penobscot tribe performed ritual dances to give the ship good luck, and the vessel was christened by Eleanor Roosevelt.Collection
