GOMES FAMILY
Mr. Gomes, first mate of the New Bedford bark Wanderer, invited his family aboard to bid farewell on the eve of his departure in August 1924. Though they were prepared for a long separation, Mr. Gomes returned home only a day or two later, after the Wanderer was wrecked in a storm on Buzzard’s bay, with all hands saved.
