Description

As the wife of a seafaring man, Sarah Tibbetts was often without the companionship of her husband. At home, she cared for their youngest child and a grandson.

Her husband, Captain John M. Tibbetts (1841-1926) was expected in port in nearby Bath to reload his ship, presenting an opportunity to visit him. Her daughter-in-law, Lottie Boucher, was helping to make this possible.
