Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SDMMSI_070724_128.JPG: In 1898, Euterpe (not renamed Star of India until 1906) had reached the end of her useful life as an emigrant ship. Passengers going to New Zealand and Australia now expected the higher standards of comfort and speed which could only be provided by steamers. Purchased by Americans Lincoln Spencer and J.J. Moore, Euterpe now entered the lumber trade under temporary Hawaiian registry, afforded her by virtue of Spencer's claim to Hawaiian birth. Following a refit and the cutting of the timber ports directly beneath this sign, Euterpe left Tacoma, Washington on November 20, 1898, with a load a lumber bound for Port Adelaide, Australia. On her first trip of her new career, she encountered gales in the North Pacific, which flooded her cabin and badly injured her captain, C.G. Saxe. The following year's trip fared no better. Her deckload of lumber came loose in a storm, threatening to capsize the vessel. Fortunately, the crew got it secured again, and she arrived safely in western Australia by late March 1900. Shifting round to New South Wales for coal, she then collided with the barkentine Sir John Franklin in Newcastle harbor.
2. SDMMSI_070724_131.JPG: Returning to Hawaii, Euterpe's run of bad luck continued. She ran aground off Sprecklesville, Maui, and only a valiant effort by the tugboat Fearless got her off after one hundred tons of coal were thrown overboard to lighter her. The incident left her rudder pushed up through her deck, and she had to be repaired at Honolulu. While there, on October 30, 1900, Euterpe became an American ship following Hawaii's annexation to the United States. Her final voyage in the lumber trade began in San Francisco on February 10, 1901, under new ownership, the Alaska Packers Association. Again she encountered storms, which blew out her mains'l, carried away the poop ladder, flooded out the fo'c's'le and smashed the binnacle. ... That winter, the Alaska Packers put her into a shipyard, and in the spring of 1902, rigged down to a bark, she entered the Alaska salmon trade. Today, these timber ports remain as vestiges of Euterpe's brief but important period of transition.
3. SDMMSI_070724_138.JPG: Euterpe becomes a "Star": In 1901, the ship Euterpe was purchased by the Alaska Packers Association (APA) for use in the Alaska salmon trade. They re-rigged her as a bark and five years later gave her the name she carries today, "Star of India," to conform with the "Star" names of their other iron and steel sailing ships. The Star of India sailed with the APA fleet from San Francisco to Alaska and back every year from 1902 until her retirement in 1923.

Wikipedia Description: Star of India (ship)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Star of India was built in 1863 as Euterpe, a full-rigged iron windjammer ship in Ramsey, Isle of Man. After a full career sailing from Great Britain to India then to New Zealand, she became a salmon hauler on the Alaska then to California route. After retirement, she was restored and is now a seaworthy museum ship ported in San Diego. The ship is both a California and National Historic Landmark, and the latter designation places it on the National Register of Historic Places.

History:

As Euterpe:

Named for Euterpe, the muse of music, she was a full-rigged ship (a ship that has 3 masts and squaresails on all 3 masts) built of iron in 1863 by Gibson, McDonald & Arnold, of Ramsey, Isle of Man, British Isles, for the Indian jute trade of Wakefield Nash & Company of Liverpool. She was launched on November 14, 1863, and assigned British Registration No.47617 and signal VPJK.

Euterpe's career had a rough beginning. She sailed for Calcutta from Liverpool on January 9, 1864, under the command of Captain William John Storry. A collision with an unlighted, hit-and-run Spanish brig off the coast of Wales carried away the jib-boom and damaged other rigging. The crew became mutinous, refusing to continue, and she returned to Anglesey to repair; 17 of the crew were confined to the Beaumaris Gaol at hard labor. Then, in 1865, Euterpe was forced to cut away her masts in a gale in the Bay of Bengal off Madras and limped to Trincomalee and Calcutta for repair. Captain Storry died during the return voyage to England and was buried at sea.

After her near-disastrous first two voyages Euterpe was sold, first in 1871 to David Brown of London for whom she made four more relatively uneventful voyages to India, then again (displaced by steamers after the opening of the Suez Canal) in 1871 to Shaw, Savill & Company of London. In late 1871 she began twenty-five years of carrying passengers and freight in the New Zeal ...More...

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it. Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler. Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust").. Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
