Library of Congress Call Number: LC-D4-22494 <P&P> [P&P]As a part of Boston's "Old Home Week" celebration in August 1907, a cup was offered by Sir Thomas Lipton for a Fishermen’s Race in Massachusetts Bay from Provincetown to Gloucester to Boston. Despite losing her foretopmast in the final leg of the race, the Rose Dorothea, with her crew from Provincetown, won the race by 2 1/2 minutes, beating the schooner Jesse Costa. She was was sold in 1916 to a Newfoundland company (W. Campbell & J. J. McKay, St. John’s, Newfoundland), which used her to ferry salt, codfish and other supplies to Portugal. On 16 February 1917, the German U-Boat submarine SM U-21 surfaced next to the schooner as it approached Portugal, approximately 15 nautical miles (28 km) off Cabo de Santa María (36°50′N 8°25′W / 36.83°N 8.417°W / 36.83; -8.417). After allowing her crew to evacuate into lifeboats, the U-Boat sank her.[1][2]Detroit Publishing Company Photograph Collection Notes: Possibly by Nathaniel Livermore Stebbins. "4255" on negative.
