Cape James. General Douglas McArthur’s signal boat.Historic vessel awaits some work to be done to bring this unique vessel back to her prime condition.

The FP47 (Cape James) was only 125 ft long. It was built originally for the Alaska freight and passenger traffic. The FP47 (Cape James) was also refitted as a communication ship in Sydney, Australia.  It had two new diesel generators installed as power units for the electronic equipment which included two American army Morse code transmitters. The original masts had to be re-positioned to counteract the weight of the heavy electrical equipment.  However, the calculations were incorrect and the masts leaned forward making the FP47 (Cape James) look like she was moving backwards. The official radio code for the FP47 (Cape James) was “Bedpan”.

There are numerous links to her history available to all interested parties.

GLENN GEARY is one of the last of the classic sardine carriers. She is based on a traditional model of sardine carrier of which few remain today. GLENN GEARY was built by the reputable Newbert & Wallace shipyard in Thomaston, Maine in 1948. Double ended sardine carriers such as GLENN GEARY, built by Newbert & Wallace, are known for their stunning good looks, excellent craftsmanship, superb sea-keeping abilities and reliability as a “good little work boat.” This well known sardine carrier worked the waters of coastal Maine under her original name – JOYCE MARIE. She was built for the famous Stinson Cannery, a herring packing company located in Maine.  GLENN GEARY is currently documented and registered as a fishing vessel and was still working up until September of 2007 when her herring career ended. She has since been cleaned out, cleaned up, and refitted at the Boothbay Harbor Shipyard in 2008.
