Summary
The Lucie A. was a fishing boat caught near Fox Island in a gale and blinding snow in December 1913. After beaching and patching the boat, its crew was found by the tug Margaret McCann and later towed home by the gasoline boat Rhine.
Evidence and limits
The held report gives the vessel name and class but no registry number, dimensions, owner, crew list, or exact location. Its relative-date narrative is reported only at month precision here because the clipped article does not provide a recoverable calendar date.
Open questions
- Can a registry or local fishing record identify the vessel and owner?
- Did the Lucie A. remain in service after the December 1913 incident?
