Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

I'm glad to report the  photos below were taken one week after the photo above. The Friendship sloop 'Jabberwocky' was floated on the high tide after @8 hours on that ledge. No damage apart from scrapes to her bottom paint. Everyone sailing in Maine hits rock sooner or later.  This particular ledge is in Eggemoggin Reach between Conary's I. and White's I.
Friendship sloops were the last inshore fishing and lobstering boats in wide use before the Maine lobster (motor) boat came into wide use around 1915-20.
