James E. Mitchell" watercolor "Gloucester Fishing Schooner "Elsie". Framed, matted and under glass. The schooner Elsie was built in 1910 at the Arthur D. Story shipyard in Essex, Massachusetts. She was “smart, able and beautiful,” a proud member of Gloucester’s once famous salt fishing fleet and a contender in the International Fishermen’s Races of 1921. Elsie was designed by Captain Thomas McManus and built for the Atlantic Maritime Company of Gloucester and Boston. On her maiden trip she landed over 280,000 pounds of salt cod in Gloucester. In 1916, Elsie was sold to the Gorton-Pew Company for whom she continued to be a top producer. After a short stint under Canadian ownership, in 1921 the vessel was taken over by Frank C. Pearce Company and brought back to Gloucester. It was under the ownership of Pearce that Elsie, with Captain Marty Welch in command, challenged the Canadian fishing schooner Bluenose in the International Fishermen’s Races of 1921. Elsie had earned the right to represent Gloucester in the Race by out sailing four other local schooners. Despite gallant efforts in the two races which were held off the coast of Nova Scotia that year, Elsie lost to the Bluenose. The Elsie was lost in January 1935 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence 21.5" x 25.5"
