Help find AMBERJACK - Amberjack, Star #307, was built in 1925 by Davis & Sons of Solomons Island. The first owners were listed as Trippe and Young (don't have first names). Ownership transferred in the 1930s to Richard Martin and then to A.R. Leighton in the early 1950s. AMBERJACK kept her name and stayed in the Chesapeake Bay fleet until she was last logged by the Star historian around 1983. Now, a search is on for her. If you have any information, Fitzhugh Turner asks that you contact him at fitzturner@verizon.net
