Note: The D.J. Lawler was built in 1882 at Weymouth, Massachusetts and was named after the designer D.J. Lawler who also designed many other pilot boats. She met a terrible end on January 7, 1895 when she sunk after colliding with the fishing schooner Horace B. Parker in thick fog in Boston Harbor. Four members of the crew went down with her, and only the steward survived.
