The steamer Juliette posing with crew and passengers somewhere in Penobscot Bay, Maine. The little steamer was built at Bath in 1892 and plied the waters around Maine under the command of Captain Oscar Crockett and later the Eastern Steamboat company. She was sold to Florida interests in 1924 where she became a tender for a sand sucking dredge. In 1925 she  ran aground and sank in the Florida Keys.

  1. I have a set of Fortecs Imperial, too for my Jaguar DD6. The Wheels were very expensive 30 years ago (one single wheel for about 1.600 USD). I have pictures of the offering catalogue if interested. Best wishes from Baden-Baden

  2. Thanks for the note! I guess the price is why they are so rare. I would love to add those pictures to the post. You can send them to gerald@vanwyngaarden.ca
