Further Comments
Built in 1897, the Motor Vessel Josephine has literally gone from
sail, to steam to diesel. Originally launched as an oyster dredger in
the Chesapeake, she was refit by the Navy as a steam vessel and worked
as a Pilot Boat in the Essex harbors during the World War. Once she was
decommisioned, she was refit as a diesel driven Trawler.
In 1995, she was rescued by my husband from sinking. He has put 6 or
7 trees back into her to keep her alive. She has been a source of great
pleasure and is still quite sturdy. She needs love we find ourselves unable
to provide due to my husband's poor health and our lack of funds.
We are praying to the Lord that we will find the next people who will be her
caretakers and love her and enjoy her the way that we have. If you are
out there, please don't let this dream die.
