Sch. Anne and Mary,
72.29 tons gross and 68.68 tons net tonnage, built in Essex in 1881, sailed from port
October 1, 1897 on a Georges handline trip. She put into South West harbor, Me., about the
middle of the same month for bait, and was probably lost in one of the severe gales which

insured by the china Mutual Insurance Company for $2700 on the vessel and $800 on the
outfits. Her crew list is as follows:
