The four-masted schooners Hesper and Luther Little were docked in the mud flats at Wiscasset Maine in 1932, where they were, 45 years latter when I took these photos. The remain were storm damaged, vandalized, rotted until they had deteriorated into a pile of ruble. In 1998 they were demolished. I took this picture in 1978.
Luther Little was built in 1917. Length of 210 feet. Tonnage of 1,234. By the mid-1920's the schooner was laid up. In June 1932 she was auctioned to Frank Winter, who had her towed to Wiscasset and laid up alongside the dock. She never moved again.
