Description
The Sunbeam II was photographed navigating icy waters. Sunbeam II was 80 feet long, had a 16-foot beam and an 8-foot draft, and was in service from 1926-1939. Albert E. Condon of Thomaston designed the ship, and JD Morse Shipyard of Damariscotta built it. The ship's hull was sheathed in Greenheart South American wood to break through ice.
