Helen Miller Gould (schooner) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Helen Miller Gould (schooner)
The Helen Miller Gould was a short lived mackerel fishing schooner. As the first large schooner fitted with an auxiliary engine, she was representative of the shift from sail to engine power. ==Early years== She was designed by Captain G. Melvin McClain of Rockport, Massachusetts, who also designed the Effie M. Morrissey. She was built by John Bishop, during the winter of 1899-1900 at the Vincent Cove yard in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She was launched on March 29, 1900, before a crowd of more than 3,000 people. Captain Jacobs (King of the Mackerel Killers) was on board during the launch, along with Captain G. Melvin McClain, a few other captains, and Captain Jacobs' daughter who broke the wine bottle to christen the ship.〔Thomas, Gordon. Fast and Able: Life Stories of Great Gloucester Fishing Vessels. Gloucester, Massachusetts: Historic Ships Associates, 1968.〕 Later in 1900, the owners installed a 35 horse power Globe engine to supplement the sails. Subsequently they installed a larger, 150 horse power engine, which increased her speed to 8 knots. With the larger engine she began her true mackerel fishing career, with Jacobs as captain.〔
