Launched in 1869 by the shipbuilding company of Soule Brothers in Freeport, Maine, the Enos Soule was the largest ship built by Soule Brothers up to that time. Named by Captain Enos C. Soule for his father, the founder of the shipbuilding company, the Enos Soule made consistant trans-Atlantic and Pacific voyages for twenty years. Her ports of call included New York, San Francisco, Puget Sound, Callao, Tacoma, Sydney, Newcastle (New South Wales), Hong Kong, Buenos Ayres and Baltimore. Subsequently operating on shorter distanced trips as a bark, the Enos Soule was hit in New York harbor in 1894 and finally wrecked off New Jersey in 1914. For further information, see Frederick C.
