Boats for Boston T Wharf Merchants Buy and Build Vessels
Gloucester traders sell boats to Klondike speculators while T Wharf interests push a pro fish city policy by buying new craft and awarding shipyard contracts. The Rienzi, a Gloucester clipper built in 1892, 71 ft long and 49 tons, may join Boston skippers. Captain Rufus McKay argues against Cape Ann sales, as T Wharf plans a 100 ton sailer in five to six weeks. Hattie and Lottie, 100 tons, changed to Boston and readied for Newfoundland, will sail soon under Captain Charley Rankin.
