| 13401 | Niliraga - Schooner |
|
| When "Niliraga" sailed in Mount Desert waters she was owned by the Dunn and Milliken families and sailed off of Sutton Island and Northeast Harbor, Maine. Ralph Warren Stanley sailed her for both families. She was built with a shorter bowsprit and single jib, but she had such a weather helm that Mr. Dunn had the bowsprit lengthened and an extra jib added and original jib made smaller. “That helped her some.” She was sold away and featured in a TV mini-series. "Some guy was 'murdered' on her deck." She ended up in Brewer, Maine, "probably cut up and dumped." - Ralph Stanley 01/28/2013. |

| 13930 | Miantonomah - Schooner |
|
| MIANTONOMAH, official # 113022, a 76 ton Schooner, built 1872 at Newbury (Port), Massachusetts, USA. Owner #1: Duncan Finlayson, Professional of Arachat, NS., registered the vessel in 1900 (Registration # S900139) at St. John's, NF., registry closed 1906 - Transfered to a New Port. Owner # 2: William Moffat, Farmer/Planter of Mayfield, PEI., registered the vessel in 1903 (Registration # I903012) at PEI., registry closed 1915 - Wrecked - River Bourgeois, NS. "There's an obvious error in closure and registration dates on the record. This is likely a transcription error. The other possibility is that the vessel may have been registered at two different ports at the same time, although this would be unusual." Schooner “Miantonomah” was reported as producing 1,400 inspected barrels for a value of $8,000.00 in 1880 – “Compilation of reports of Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, 1789-1901, First Congress, First Session, to Fifty-sixth Congress, Second Session, Trade and Commerce with Foreign Nations – Foreign Tariffs – Boundary and Fishery Disputes” Vol. V, ‘Large catches and “stocks” by the mackerel fleet in New England waters, season of 1880,’ p. 839, Published by Government Printing Office, 1901. |

| 14899 | Amberjack II - Schooner |
|
| President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a trip to Campobello Island in June 1933 on Schooner Amberjack II (45’) chartered by his son, James, for the trip. Eleanor Roosevelt traveled by car with her friends, Nancy Cook and Marion Dickerman, to open up the cottage at Campobello and prepare for Franklin’s arrival. "When [Eleanor, Nancy and Marion] arrived at Mary Dreier’s home on Mount Desert Island in Maine, ER discovered that a large party was planned for the next afternoon, and she wrote in dismay: ‘I don’t dare tell Nan, but this is not my idea of a holiday!’ The next morning ER awoke to discover that ‘FDR and the whole fleet’ had anchored outside Mary Dreier’s home in Southwest Harbor. ER worried that it was ‘rather overpowering for Mary Dreier, but she seemed pleased.’ ER’s three sons went ashore for breakfast, and FDR invited ER and her party aboard the Amberjack II for lunch. By all accounts it was a ’joyous reunion,’ and nobody discussed the London Economic Conference. After FDR’s detour to Mary Dreier, he continued his cruise while ER headed directly for Campobello to make beds and prepare the great welcoming picnic to celebrate FDR’s first visit in twelve years…" - "Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume II, The Defining Years," 1933-1938 by Blanche Wiesen Cook, Viking, 1999, Unpaged – Chapter 6, “Family Discord and the London Economic Conference.” "Miss Nancy Cook of New York City is at the Old Fernald homestead at Fernald Point for the season. Miss Cook is associated with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt in a furniture manufacturing business in that city." - The Bar Harbor Times, July 19, 1933 Cook - Nancy Cook (1884-1962) |
