The Helen Taylor




This is a scan of the photograph of the ship, "Helen Taylor" that is in the custody of my great uncle Bruce.  The boat was owned by my great grandfather, Edward Babe Morse and unfortunately was sunk in the Michigan City harbor in about 1932.  The people shown in the picture are believed to be Edward with his sons Frank, Art, and Ed.   It is unknown when the photograph might have been taken, but based on the ages of the sons it was likely very close to 1932.  Ed was born in 1918 and would have been 14 then.  I've not found any newspaper articles about the sinking yet, but it is on my "to do" list.
