There were a lot of lumber schooners out of the Northeast / New England ports, and there were a number of "Stone Droghers", also.
While the practice of wire transfer wasn't much used in the Northeast, there's no reason why it couldn't have been, so the Wiscasset Bucksport & Schoodic Point will visit one port where the practice is used. The Northeastern schooners hauled milled lumber, boxboards, and pulpwood.
I'll also have to consider a wharf for cut stone transfer, and a 1/48 scale sloop for the stone drogher.
Just about anything is fair game for modeling, in this hobby

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
