Description |
Shoreline - The figurehead from the bark Golden Sunset was brought to Marion by Edward Hamlin and mounted at the head of Bates Wharf, thus establishing a landmark visible from any number of vantages around the Inner Sippican Harbor. The Golden Sunset was built in England in 1876 and passed to French owners, back to the English, and finally to Norwegian owners, who converted her into a coal barge in 1920. 2nd digital photograph - right profile of figurehead |
