    "The David Bell yard table lists an iron screw schooner built at Buffalo in 1881, hull 26, US 25243, 95.3 × 17.5 × 8.3 ft registered dimensions and 110 ft overall; its original owner was Cameron D. Waterman. [David Bell register](https://navalmarinearchive.com/sbh/shipyards/19thcentury/bell.html).",
    "The two historical photographs show an enclosed forward main-deck cabin and open after main deck, an upper canopy on light stanchions, a boat carried above it, arched forward-house windows, an open railed bridge, one tall narrow funnel and two thin pole masts. The accompanying history describes the original steam yacht and later excursion service. [Baillod, Uarda](https://www.baillod.com/shipwreck/keweenaw/uarda.html).",
    "Uarda burned at Seager’s wood dock in Ripley on June 4, 1912. Captain Werner suspected arson; it is not established as a finding. The remains sank in the Portage Canal by April 1913. [Baillod](https://www.baillod.com/shipwreck/keweenaw/uarda.html)."
