Rough weather two days out from Aberdeen, a lumber exmp on the Washington coust, where the Dorothy H Sterling was landed with) 2,250,000 superficial feet of lumbe:, the ship's cargo shifted its position. From that time on, for the rest of the nine weeks' journey, everyone on board pretended that this was the natural way to stand and walk aboctt. The jauntiness of the picture can be imagined.
The sailing ship is about 300 feet ons, ahd her nett tonnage is given at 2250. She is made of Oregon pine, and wus built in 1920 when sailing ship boom made a temporary reversion to that interesting type of vessel. But as the captain of the Dorothy H. Sterling would "There's no wse imagining that sailing-ships can ever be revived."
She is named after the daughter of the American owner, and each one of the masts has its own name in the traditional manner. A slight. cyril cism pervades the point of view of her crew, likewise following the traditional manner, and nobody would admit feeling any sentimental attachment to. masts and their names.
