	19								SHORT DESCRIPTION: Oil painting on board showing the three-masted schooner Fairhaven docked at Merrills Wharf (renamed Homer's Wharf in 1927) in New Bedford, Massachusetts, by New Bedford artist Harry A. Neyland. The vessel is shown docked bow-in with its port side broadside-to the wharf. All three masts can be seen. The hull appears gray with tinges of green suggesting the vessel has been sitting unattended for some time. A small shed with an angled roof sits at the lower left. The wharf wraps around the schooner in the foreground and down the right side. In the background at the lower right are buildings at the end of the wharf. The masts of a schooner can be seen above them. NOTES: An article published in the Standard Times, May 24, 1929, page 11, carries the report of an exhibition at the Swain School of Design, from May 23 to May 28 of a variety of objects of art including original Neyland illustrations. Among the works displayed are mentioned paintings of the bark Coriolanus and the old three masted schooner Fairhaven. Considering the hull of Fairhaven was painted white shortly after launching, the gray hull seems to indicate the painting may show Fairhaven at a later time. Between May 1926 and March of 1929 the Fairhaven was docked alongside Merrills Wharf in New Bedford apparently in sinking condition (pumps were needed to keep her floating). See the newspaper reports below. This suggests a possible date for the creation of the painting between mid 1926 and 1928 or early 1929. It's is also possible Neyland painted the image shortly after the vessel's launch but before her repainting, but the weathered look of the hull does not suggest this is the case. This theory is backed up by several photographs showing the schooner Fairhaven berthed at Merrill's Wharf in 1927 in the Nicholson Collection of Whaling Photographs at the Providence Digital Library and the New Bedford Whaling Museum. NOTES: Harry Neyland was an American painter, sculptor, illustrator, and copyist. His style was essentially American Impressionistic and his compositions covered a wide variety of genres: landscapes, townscapes, ships, marine, harbors, and London and Paris scenes. Neyland was an expert on the whaling industry who would give lectures on whaling and ships during exhibitions of his marine paintings. A 1948 Lowell “Telegraph” article, indicated he had a solo show of over seventy ship paintings at the Whistler House Museum of Art and presented a forty-five minute motion picture of the whaling days and recent times of New Bedford. Neyland was a resident of New Bedford from 1911 and until 1938 maintained a studio on Cuttyhunk island at the entrance to New Bedford harbor. Harry Neyland was instrumental in the saving and preserving of the famous whaleship Charles W. Morgan. While berthed in Fairhaven in 1924, the Morgan was nearly destroyed when the steamer Sankaty caught fire and broke free of her mooring lines and drifted into Morgan's port quarter. Luckily, the Fairhaven firemen managed to save her. After the near disaster, Neyland and some other New Bedford citizens tried to restore and preserve the Morgan, but their attempts were unsuccessful. Neyland persuaded Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green, the grandson of Edward Mott Robinson, who had been a part owner of the Morgan and from 1849 to 1863 had acted as the vessel's agent for his wife's (Hetty Robinson Green) business (Isaac Howland and Company, who were the other principle owners) to save the ship. Green had the ship towed to his estate in Round Hill (Dartmouth, Massachusetts) and founded Whaling Enshrined, which consisted of himself, Neyland, and John Bullard, the great-grandson of Charles Waln Morgan. The Morgan was restored and kept at Dartmouth until 1941 when it was acquired by the Marine Historical Association (now Mystic Seaport Museum). The Mariners' Museum and Park's collection holds eleven paintings by Neyland. Five form a series titled 'The Story of the Ship' (QO 1-QO 5), three show views of the whaleship Charles W. Morgan under repair (QO 6) and sailing (QO 9, QO 10) , and the remaining three show view of the schooner Fairhaven (QO 11), the bark Coriolanus (QO 7), and the packet ship Amos Peggs (QO 8). VESSEL INFORMATION - VESSEL NAME: FAIRHAVEN VESSEL TYPE: THREE-MASTED SCHOONER ALL SHIP'S NAMES: FAIRHAVEN, OAK WOODS [An article published in the Standard Times on May 18, 1926 (page 15) states that the Fairhaven was "put together from three vessels." Research did not reveal the names of the other vessels.] SHIP BUILDER: DAVID CLARK (Oak Woods), New Bedford Drydock Company (Fairhaven) BUILDER LOCATION: KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE (Oak Woods); Fairhaven, Massaschusetts (Fairhaven) BUILD DATE: 1880 (Oak Woods), 1920 (Fairhaven) REGISTERED: New Bedford, Massachusetts SHIP OWNER: William H. Draper VESSEL HISTORY: --The Standard Times (New Bedford), June 23, 1920, page 8: To Become Packet. Wrecked Schooner, Rechristened, Star of the Fleet. Schooner Oak Wood, which was rammed and sunk by a US submarine off Wing's Neck, near the Cape Cod canal last fall is to become the latest addition to New Bedford's ever-growing fleet of Portuguese packets. The schooner, which was raised this spring and purchased by the New Bedford Drydock Company has been sold to Portuguese interests, and is to soon go on the ways at the drydock company for repairs and remolding. It is to be rechristened the Lisbon, and when completed will be the star craft of the fleet, with staterooms, baths, and electric lights throughout. It is intended to run the Lisbon on a regular schedule. [no schooner named Lisbon ever appears in articles published by Standard Times, believe the name changed before launch by new owner] --The Standard Times, January 13, 1921, page 1: Ship Takes Water Here, First Vessel Since 1883 is Launched in New Bedford Harbor, Little Doris Gilbert Christens "Fairhaven" with Bot- of Ginger Ale. With a quart of the very best gingerale trickling from her bow, the "Fairhaven," the first ship to be launched in Fairhaven since the Lottie Beard in 1866, and the first launched in New Bedford harbor since the Mary B. Wellington in 1883 slid gracefully into the water at the New Bedford Dry Dock Company yard this morning. High and dry on her launching ways loomed the "Fairhaven" her three masts rearing gaunt abover her deck and her bright new flags proudly flying. While a crew of workmen drove wedges under her to hasten the already delayed launching, caused by the slow melting of grease beneath her keel, officials of the company and townspeople waited for the "Fairhaven" to move. Perhaps the most interested observer, however, was the owner, William H. Draper of Providence, at one time owner of the Portuguese packet which bears his name. Waiting by the bow with her champagne bottle of gingerale poised was little Doris Gilbert, the 12-year-old golden haired daughter of Captain M. L. Gilbert of the drydock company. With her was her mother, and up in the bow was "Junior" Gilbert, the captain's young son. Witnessing the launching, too, was Mrs. M. F. Drukker, treasurer of the company, and supervising it was Captain A. J. Wilson, yard Superintendent. There were cries of "She Moves!" But it ws not until quarter of 12, an hour later than the time set for the launching, that the "Fairhaven" really began to slide. Then little Miss Gilbert christened the first shp completed by the New Bedford Dry Dock Company, and all stood to watch the great object as it slide into the water and rested on the bottom. The tide was not quite high enough to float the ship, but when the tide comes in again it is expected that she will float clear. The "Fairhaven" is a three-masted schooner which will probably be used as a Portuguese packet. It took four months to build her. She has a single deck, is 115 feet long, 27 feet wide and 11 feet deep. She will carry a crew of seven, registers 225 tons, will carry 325 tons cargo and about 75 passengers. When the final coat of paint is given, the "Fairhaven" will be pure white above the water line. Her home port will probably be New Bedford. --The Standard Times, March 23, 1921, page 3: Schooner Fairhave has been towed to the old wharf at the New Bedford Drydock Company, where spars are being put on and the vessel completed. (January 19 article reports that she was hauled on the ways at the same yard for final painting and finishing). --The Standard Times, April 17, 1924, page 12: The three masted schooner Fairhaven, Captain Joseph Domingoes, was to sail from Brava with a full passenger list about the middle of March. The vessel docked at Merrills Wharf on May 2 after a passage of 36 days. --The Standard Times, June 20, 1924, page 4: Sailed, schooner Fairhaven, Domingos, Brava, C.V.I. --The Standard Times, September 22, 1924, page 8: Fairhaven here, Schooner from Cape Verde in harbor Sunday. Three masted schooner Fairhave, Captain Joseph Domingos, arrived from Brava, Cape Verde islands yesterday afternoon, and anchored in quarantine about 5:30. The Fairhaven sailed from the island port the same day that the schooners A.M. Nicholson left Brava, and is four days late. The trip was made in good weather, evidently, for the craft looks trim and neat. She has about 20 persons aboard. An easterly wind helped the Fairhaven along on the last two days of her voyage. --The Standard Times, October 30, 1924, page 4: the schooner Fairhaven cleared the custom house and pulled into the stream today. --The Standard Times, July 10, 1925, page 10: Sails used to Steer Packet, Fairhaven's Rudder goes out of order four days from port, Schooner anchors here from Cape Verdes after 31-day voyage. Thirty-one days from the island of Brava in the Cape Verde islands, the three masted packet schooner Fairhaven, Captain Joseph M. Domingues, dropped anchor at quarantine in the lower harbor last night, and this morning the schooner was visited by port physician Dr. Edmond F. Cody, Customs Inspector Charles H. Weld, and Immigration inspector John G. Hagberg. The Fairhaven brings five passengers, one of them an American citizen, the other four aliens with re-entry permits, and a crew of 21, besides the captain. The Fairhaven left Brava on June 8. The shooner developed a small leak shortly after getting underway, and it was necessary to man the pumps a half hour each day on the month's voyage. Weather was fine except for some fog off this coast. Four days ago, off Nantucket Shoals, the schooner's rudder went bad, and for the ensuing time it was necessary to steer the ship by shifting the sails. A long metal rod holding the rudder secur gave way so that the rudder was of no use. Steering by sails was not difficult until the vessel came in by the land and a bad wind made it difficult to use the sails in keeping her headed in the right direction. Captain Domingues brought the schooner in by Gay Head yesterday forenoon, and before noon dropped anchor about half way between Gay Head and Quicks Hole....The Fairhaven was taken in tow yesterday noon and towed through Quicks Hole into an anchorage in the lower harbor....Since leaving here last fall Fairhaven made two trips to the coast of Africa and took over two cargos of salt and returned with wood. The vessel brought no cargo back except a few small boxes of tobacco. Passengers and crew are well suplied with cocoanut butter in bottles. Captain Domingues was formerly in the bark Amos Peggs, a packet lost a few years ago while getting mahogany logs off the coast of Africa. --The Standard Times, October 20, 1925, page 3: At Merrills Wharf there is a three-masted schooner Fairhaven, which will sail in command of Captain Jose Domingues. Cleared October 30th for Fogo, CVI under captain Augusto Ben David, Captain Domingues sailed as a passenger. The vessel arrived after a 35 day passage. --The Standard Times, May 7, 1926, page 11: Schooner from Brava arrives, the three-master Fairhave comes into bay after 33 days trip, beats faster vessels by striking brisk southwest wind. The three-masted schooner Fairhaven, Capt. Edward J. Oliver, 33 days from Brava, CVI, came into the bay at 5:45 and dropped anchor at quarantine. The Fairhave is the slowest sailing craft of the Cape Verde fleet, but by a combination of circumstances, she beat out several faster vessels that left the islands several days before her departure. --The Daily Item, May 17, 1926, page 6: Faces Fine of $26,000 for Aliens Entering the U.S., Twenty-six members of crew of schooner Fairhaven Escape in small boat. New Bedford, May 17, 1926. Twenty-six members of the crew of 28 aliens on the three-masted Cape Verde packet schooner Fairhaven deserted the vessel yesterday as it lay in anchorage basin on the Fairhaven side of the river. Only the navigator and one seaman remained. Others seized the ship's boat and rowed to shore. Several swam to freedom. Captain Edward J. Oliveira, youngest skipper in the packet trade, was ashore when the crew escaped. He now faces a fine of $26,000 for permitting aliens under his custody to enter the country illegally. The vessel leaked all the way across the Atlantic and was kept afloat by constant work at the pumps. Fear that the schooner woudl sink during yesterdays heavy rain is believed to have been the reason for the desertion. Immigration officials began an investigation this morning. ----The Standard Times, May 18, 1926, page 15:...In running down something of the history of the schooner Fairhaven some incidents are brought to light. The schooner was put together from three vessels in the summer of 1921 in the old yard of the New Bedford Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Fairhaven that was conducted by Captain Mark Gilbert....The Fairhaven is now in about eight feet of water resting on the mud bottom some 50 to 100 feet to the north wall of Merrill's wharf. She is nearly full of water, though pumps are constantly in operation to keep her from settling. Page 17 shows a photograph of the Fairhaven listing to port. --The Standard Times, May 21, 1926, page 8: Packet libelled. Salvage and wage claims against schooner Fairhaven. The Cape Verde packet schooner Fairhaven was libelled today for the salvage claim of Frank Correia, amounting to $400, and also for seamen's wages amounting to $150. The libel is brought through the office of John P. Leary. The Fairhaven is now alongside Merrill's wharf, where she has been since Frank Correira towed the vessel from the deep hole anchorage in the harbor last Monday after 22 members of the crew escaped from the vessel on Sunday. It was necessary to keep the vessel's pumps at work to keep her from sinking., and Frank Correia remained alongside to furnish motive power for the pumps. --The Standard Times (New Bedford), June 19, 1926, page 9, reports: the sale of the libeled three masted schooner Fairhaven, recently in the Cape Verde trade in a United States marshal's sale. The Fairhaven was sold to John P. Leary for $1,300. It had only appraised for $750. The sail occurred at Merrills Wharf where the vessels were docked. The Fairhaven was sold to satisfy the libel of Frank Correira, who salvaged the schooner when it was leaking badly in a deep hole on the Fairhaven side of the river. --The Standard Times, July 7, 1926, page 22: the deposit of the purchased was forfeited and the vessel was ordered sold again on July 10. Sold to W. S. Nolan, of Boston, for $500. --The Standard Times, July 22, 1926, page 11: Fairhaven reported sunk after gas power pump stolen. --The Standard Times, March 27, 1929, page 9: Sale of Schooner requested. Boston March 27, a libel wsa filed in Federal Court here yesterday by Benjamin Baker, New Bedford, against the schooner Fairhaven, seeking to collect demurrage charges for the docking of the schooner at Merrills Wharf, New Bedford, for the period of 527 days. The amount at issue is $316.20. Baker is agent for the wharf. He states in his libel that the owner of the schooner, W. S. Nolan, Boston, requested docking priviledges for the schooner at the wharf from October 2, 1927 to March 21 1929, and that the docking was furnished. However, the bill has not been paid, according to Baker, and he wants the money. He asks that the Fairhaven be condemed and sold to satisfy the claim. Seizure will be made by the US Marshal. --The Standard Times, May 7, 1929, page 5: Schooner ordered sold on following Saturday. --The Standard Times, May 11, 1929, page 2: Fairhaven sold for $250 to Clifton Bennett, of Hyannis. The old craft will be towed to the Cape, preferably around Hyannis, where it will be beached and used for club purposes by a group of Cape residents. --The Standard Times, May 24, 1929, page 11: Report of an exhibition at the Swain School of Design, from May 23 to May 28, of a variety of objects of art including original Neyland illustrations. Among the works displayed are mentioned paintings of the bark Coriolanus and the old three masted schooner Fairhaven. --The Standard Times, May 27, 1929, page 24: Tea Room Craft to be towed to Cape. Schooner Fairhaven, sold at US marshal's sale a week ago to go to Hyannis to become a tea room there, has been patched up and pumped out, and tomorrow she is to be taken in tow for her destination to the Cape. The craft, lying on the north side of Merrill's wharf, has been a familiar part of the waterfront here for two years, ever since she last arrived here from the Cape Verde islands. --The Standard Times, June 3, 1929, page 9: Old schooner is towed to Hyannis. Three-masted schooner Fairhaven, a former coasting craft and more recently a Cape Verde packet, which was purchased by Captain Gilbert some two or three years ago, and recently sold at US marshal's sale to Louis O. McLoon of Hyannisport, sailed for her new home port yesterday morning. There she will be place high and dry on the beach near railroad wharf inside a bulkhead. The craft was towed by a power boat of the Frank C. Taylor company, and Superintendent Charles Holmes went along to have charge of the work of placing the craft in her new permanent quarters at Hyannisport. She will be used as a club room and amusement resort by her new owners. The deck of the craft will be raised four feet and a dance floor built. It is expected that the job will take about a month to complete.	CL3557
