Description:Excerpt from Annual Report of the Operations of the United States Life-Saving Service: For the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1898 One life was lost at about noonday on the 14th of July, 1897, from the schooner Edward W. Schmidt, which was wrecked and totally destroyed near the mouth of the Kennebec River on that date. The Schmidt was a three-masted schooner of 408 tons gross burden, hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and built at Bath, Maine, in 1881. She carried a crew of seven men, including the master, J. W. Cramer, and when lost was bound from Saco, Maine, in ballast, to Richmond, Maine, where she was to take on board a cargo of ice for a Southern port. She cleared from Saco on Monday, July 12, and shortly after midnight came to anchor on the inside of Pond Island Bar, at the mouth of the Kennebec River, in 4 fathoms of water. A light breeze was then blowing from the southward, which was a fair wind into the river, but a heavy fog prevailed, and for this reason, and also because in summer time it is the custom of vessels inward bound arriving in the night to wait until morning before entering and then to take a tug, the captain did not deem it wise or necessary to proceed farther.
