ALBERT GALLATIN
 The Iron hulled Revenue Cutter Gallatin was built in Buffalo NY in
1874. She was 142 feet long had a 23 foot beam and displaced 250
tons.
On January 6, 1892the Albert Gallatin was en-route from Portsmouth
to Provincetown. The weather turned bad. With gale winds creating
monstrous sea conditions the Gallatin's captain headed for the
protection of Gloucester Harbor. Unfortunately, the Gallatin ran
aground on Boo Hoo Ledge. Water began to pour in. The Gallatin
rolled over. Capt Eric Gabrielson ordered the life boats to be
lowered. As the boats were being lowered the ships carpenter was
killed when her smoke stack broke free and struck him on his head.
The rest of her crew boarded the boats safely and rowed to shore.
According to Bill Carter the remains of the Albert Gallatin can be
found scattered in 15 to 50feet of water.
