Administrators Eric Posted April 6 Author Administrators Share Posted April 6 Here we have the schooner "John D. Colwell" being launched at Rockland, Maine, back in 1906. The Colwell ran aground off the coast of Puerto Rico in February of 1915 and was a total loss. Coincidentally, the day the Colwell ran aground is the same day that the first German U-Boat campaign of WWI begins with unrestricted attacks against merchant and passenger ships in the waters around the British Isles. Within six months, Allied shipping losses at sea surpass the number of new ships being built. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that is a 1937 Studebaker Dictator. This is what one looks like from the front. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted April 11 Author Administrators Share Posted April 11 Studebaker had car models called 'President' and 'Dictator' in the late thirties. I would love to know if there was a backstory to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt Stetson showed you were a success as did his Chrysler cars. He was concerned about "appearance". I am not. My obsession is with accomplishments. They speak louder than words. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
