Description
The Mary Anne, built for Lubecker Moses Bernard Pike’s Holmes Packing Company in Eastport, was the first sardine carrier to refrigerate the herring in the hold.
Icy salt water and air circulated up through the herring and kept the catch chilled.
Named for Pike’s two daughters, Mary and Anne of Lubec, the ship was built by Newbert and Wallace Shipyard in Thomaston.
