Bath built bark W. B. Flint burned for her metal
Edmonds Washington last Thursday saw the old bark W. B. Flint burned at Norma Beach to recover her metal. William E. Ember, once a sailor from the port, urges city officials for information about the vessel. The ship, launched in Bath Maine in 1885, later sailed for Libby Packing Co. toward Bristol Bay Alaska, and may have been reduced to a bark during salmon fishing days. Researchers invite data or photos of the W. B. Flint or the St. Paul museum ship for clarification.
