The 1939 List of Merchant Vessels of the U.S. contains no motor vessels named Ave Maria; the 1949 List contains 5 with that name, all fishing vessels (like the vessel in these photos) and none built in Maine. To try to figure out which one his pictures are of, Tom Stackhouse could contact me at Maine Maritime Museum, lipfert@maritimeme.org.
