The Steamer J.T. Morse was used on the Mount Desert run from the 1904 until the 1930's when it was sold to another company. It carried people in the cabins and freight below the decks. Some people found the Morse to be very ugly; with a tall stack billowing fumes and a very straight bow. However there were others who considered the Morse to be the most beautiful steamer to come to the Island.
The Morse's history included three sinkings and couple of collisions.
