James Drummond lighthouse still guards Alaskan waters
The James Drummond, one of the Minott ships built in Bath in 1881 and later converted to a barge by Alaska Packing, lies wrecked at Dal Patch Shoal Sea Orth Channel Alaska. A light on its foremast stump helps warn ships of a dangerous point. The vessel’s mates and crews, including Capt. William H. Benner, have long tied their fortunes to Maine’s shipyards and coastwise trade.
