By the 1900's, square-rigged ships were things of the past. Fore and aft rig required fewer sailors. Captain William B. Crowell skippered one of these vessels with deals (lumber) from the Bay of Fundy to Boston.
My Grandfather, Rev. Charles E. Crowell, tried his hand as one of the crew. He found that life as a sailor was not for him.
