Schooner Corporal Trim photo
Description:
Schooner Corporal Trim. 1890s. Photo. This illustration used as the cover of the Society's 2015 book Our Neighborhood. This is the note accompanying the cover:
View of the Manset Shore and Seawall Road buildings in the distance, with the Ocean House Hotel at the right and Centennial Hall in the center in the 1890s. The boat is the pinky schooner Corporal Trim, built in 1860 in Essex, Massachusetts. Corporal Trim is a character in Laurence Sterne's (1713-1768) Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. This type of vessel is a small fishing boat common from the early eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, especially in the Cape Ann, Massachusetts area. Probably developed from the early Chebacco boat, it had a "pinked" or pinched stern, rather than the usual flat stern. Checacco refers to an early name of the town of Essex.
