Above Left: The schooner Libby Nau,1908, co-owner and captain;Sailing adventures while captain: none discovered; repeating from the text above,Peter Halverson is shown in 1908 (probably just before moving to Milwaukee) as co-owner of the schooner Libby Nau while living in Chicago. Whether he brought it with him when he moved up to Milwaukee is unknown. Its final documents were surrendered in Milwaukee on 30 June 1918, so it’s possible this was the ship he captained the Libby Nau from 1908-18 while living in Milwaukee and Bay View, but this is not confirmed.Photo courtesy the Alpena County George N.Fletcher Public Library, Thunder Bay Research Collection.
