10449. (photo) U.S. Lighthouse Tender Shrub at Bristol, RI. c. 1930’s. Snapshot measures 2 ½” x 3 ½” and shows the pilot house and upper deck of the U.S.L.H.T. Shrub. The name can be read on a life ring as an officer poses for the camera. The vessel was built in 1912 as a freighter and converted for use as a lighthouse tender in 1920. She ran aground and sank in York, Maine in 1931 but was raised and repaired. She would serve in New England waters until 1947 when she was sold. Rare view, a bit dark. (VG). $24.
