"In January, 1867, this town sustained one of the greatest losses of life that ever happened at any one time, in the loss of the schooner "S.J. Collins", owned here and commanded by Winthrop B. Lane. After the fishing season was over, several men with their wifes and children made this coasting voyage a trip of pleasure. They took a load of freight at Bangor for New York, after which they took a load of corn at Hoboken, N.J. for Belfast and Bucksport parties. They started for home on Jan. 5. That night a storm and gale came on, and it is supposed the vessel foundered. The vessel's company were Capt. Winthrop B. Lane and wife Emily, who was formerly the wife of Daniel H. Babbidge, who was lost at sea in the schooner "Constitution". Mrs. Lane had with her her two daughters, Lillian Babbidge, aged eight, and Grace Lane, one year old. The others were Simeon S. Reed, his wife Emily and daughter Alice, Joseph F. Reed, aged twenty-five, his wife Isadora, aged twenty-two and Amos Staples. The whole party of nine were young people."
Capt. Lane's son, Charles Lane, by his first and deceased wife, Lucretia Torrey, did not accompany the others and survived.
