Anecdotes
Robert Critchley stated "Joe Hutton brought her up from Shelter Island, this vessel was in pretty bad shape. He stored it in the yard , with the hopes of getting her back in the water , but it had previously sunk at the dock on him , and it just went downhill from there. It was broken up."
