There is actually a man in the right end of the picture. How cool. I only saw him there after staring for quite a while.

www.bruzelius.info/nautica/Ships/Merchant/Sail/S/Success(... has a detailed timeline for the Success. It says that Capt. Smith sailed her from Liverpool to Boston in 1912. She had already been a floating museum since 1891. The description of content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=... , a 1915 photo taken in Seattle, suggests that Smith owned the ship. home.gci.net/~alaskapi/success/ has a more detailed timeline and confirms that Smith was an owner and was from Indiana.

Agh! Eyes on the sea, daddy-o! You'll crash us right into a reef if you don't watch where you're going!

A few corrections to the above. The man pictured here wearing a British naval uniform was Dave Smith. He was an American salesman and, needless to say, did not take the ship across the Atlantic, but went by steamer. The real skipper was a Canadian. Such is the power of the press. My website, noted above as "home.gci.net/~alaskapi/success/" is now at www.shipsuccess.com where you will find the true history of this extraordinary vessel.
