Clarence A. Packard was captain of the schooner Almon Bird when it went down near Boon Island. He did freeze his feet but were not amputated. Apparently some surgery was done to trim off some of the worst frostbite. He went on to be a merchant in Rockland. Courier Gazette 1894... Clarence A. Packard b. in Rockland 20 July 1852, has been master mariner, now wholesale dealer of fish. Died in Union 8 Nov 1916 buried Achorn Cemetery in Rockland with the rest of the Birds. The ship Almon Bird was named for my ancestor Almon Bird who was a lime dealer and brother to Harriet Bird Packard. We are looking for photos of these relatives. We have an album with photos from abt 1840 to 1900 of the Bird family think some could be Packards but some are not identified. Can anyone help?
