Topic-Organization, Vessel	Twilight (Ship) Annie M. Smull (Ship) Charles Mallory & Sons
Theme	Infrastructure Livelihood
Description	Starboard view of an unidentified, partially rigged, vessel identified as a ship or bark at Fish Wharf, Mystic.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Penciled on back: "Mystic River, Sept. 13th '68". Identified as possibly the Twilight (III) or Annie M. Smull (built 1868). Near identical images indicate this is a view of the ship Twilight, taken in early spring, 1867. These and related images and information related to the Twilight indicate that the 1868 date and alternate identification as Annie M. Smull are questionable. If Twilight, vessel is variously described as Twilight II and Twilight III. She is identified as the second sailing ship of that name built by Charles Mallory & Sons of Mystic. The first was a clipper ship launched in 1857. The actual second Twilight was a steamer launched in 1865. The third Mallory vessel named Twilight, depicted here, was launched in 1866 and wintered in the Mystic River before being rigged. This Twilight had a career in the California trade, was under foreign ownership by 1885, and shortly thereafter condemned. The Charles Mallory & Sons shipyard was located on the east (Stonington) bank of the Mystic River, approximately on the site of the present duPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport. It produced a number of sail and steam vessels from 1851 to 1875, with the Civil War period the most active. Appears to be same view as negative (1977.92.675) probably taken by Everett A. Scholfield, a professional photographer who worked primarily in Mystic and New London from 1865-1913. Mounted on white card.
