Description	Distant port view of the five-masted coasting schooner Jennie R. Dubois at Holmes Shipbuilding Co. in West Mystic. A number of structures can be seen on either side of the vessel.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. The Jennie R. Dubois was the largest vessel ever built in Mystic. Her net tonnage was 2,227; her dimensions were 249 x 46 x 20.7 feet. She was launched February 11, 1902. Named for a Rhode Island Supreme Court judge's wife, the Jennie R. Dubois was built to carry coal or lumber. Her short working life ended when she was rammed and sunk by a German steamship off Block Island in 1903. William K. Holmes and his son Charles D. Holmes formed the Holmes Shipbuilding Company in 1900. Their yard was at Willow Point, on the site of the former Maxson, Fish & Co. The Jennie R. Dubois was the only coasting schooner built by the company, which reorganized under the name Holmes Motor Company in 1903, producing small marine engines and vessels, including yachts and "self-righting" lifesaving surf boats used by the United States Life-Saving Service. The company was sold in 1916.
