Ralph built his first boats at his father’s house, originally his grandfather, Adoniram Judson Robinson's house at 376 Main Street in Southwest Harbor. He built this 33' lobster boat for Daniel "Danny" J. Graham (1943-2011) of Cohasset, Massachusetts, in this shop. "Linda G." was the same model as Ralph's other 33 footers. She carried a Palmer V-8 gas engine. In 2011 the boat belonged to Henry L. Grandjent of Islesford, Maine.
