Looking for info about the Marion, fishing schooner that was lost at sea in June of 1915 with crew of Fortune Bay men. My great grandfather was the captain, Isaac Skinner (AKA Ike Jones). Would like to have complete crew list, schooners measurements, when it was built, etc. I have the song lyrics by Simani. Thanks
