The Cape Ann mackerel fishing schooner Benjamin W. Latham was built by Tarr and James in Essex Massachusetts for Captain Henry Langworthy of Noank, Connecticut and launched in 1902. In 1906, Latham was re-registerd in New York and operated out of the Fulton Fish Market and possibly converted to dory trawling. She was lost off of San Juan Puerto Rico in 1943.
