| Colored postcard of "The Mayflower" in Marblehead Harbor. On back of postcard is a newspaper clipping from Philadelphia on January 24, 1931 (AP) It states - The Mayflower, famous presidential yacht of other days, lay a blackened and blistered wreck tonight at her pier at the Philadelphia navy yard. She was burned almost to the water line and listing badly, her stern near bottom. Naval men, when they saw her plight shook their heads. Her days as a sailing ship, they said were over. Fire from an undetermined cause burst from the Mayflower shortly before 10 o'clock, an explosion tearing hatches away and sending out clouds of smoke and flame. |
