| The automobile to the right of the vessel is a circa 1948 Jeep CJ (Civilian Jeep) Note the peavey stuck into the ground (above the “O” on the “DETOUR” sign). A peavey is a logging tool with a wooden shaft and metal hook invented in 1857 by blacksmith Joseph Daniel Peavey (1799-1873) of Stillwater, Maine, as a refinement to the cant hook to manhandle logs on logging runs. The Peavey Manufacturing Co. is still located in Maine (Eddington, Maine) and manufactures several variations. |

| The photograph shows the use of spliced frames, "split frames." Split frames were sawed on the band saw. "Every boat around here was built that way." They would bend the frames in. "The timber goes down in the gain socket." - Ralph Stanley, March 4, 2013. |

| This photograph was taken before the Manset shore was filled in. – According to Ralph Warren Stanley (1929-2021), the White boat hauled up on shore in front of the William Spurling Newman house at 102 Shore Road, Map 17 – Lot 100 – was probably built by Leslie “Les” M. Rice (1883-1966) on Great Cranberry Island for William “Uncle Jimmy” Doane Stanley (1855-1950). She was built as a double ender. Someone bought her and put a square stern on her. Work was slow at Hinckleys for awhile so Bill Dunham (Wilfred Manson Dunham (1918-2001) and Lewis Tapley (Lewis Merton Tapley (1916-1985) bought her and went fishing, though not for long. Work picked up at the Hinckley yard soon afterward. The vessel was then bought by Abner W. Lunt (1908-1975), then she was bought by Luther C. Faulkingham (1901-1993) of Prospect Harbor, where she was the last time Ralph saw her. The wharf building with the false front was the building that Francis “Frank” Thompson Chalmers Sr. (1893-1985), F. Dwight Perkins (1902-1981) and Merton S. Alley (1904-1985) had a car dealership in. Almon Frank Ramsdell Sr’s (1873-1946) garage was there later. Hinckley may have owned the building when this picture was taken. James “Jim” M. Willis (1919-2006) later ran “The Boathouse” there.

| 15141 | Jaan - Bermuda 40 Yawl |
|
| “The Bermuda 40 was designed by Bill Tripp and built by Henry R. Hinckley in fiberglass. Production began in 1959… [She] is a centerboarder, a major reason for its longstanding appeal. Though not terribly beamy by today’s standards, the B 40’s 11-foot, 9-inch beam is substantial. Similarly, the interior is not considered very spacious by today’s standards, but it had the room of a 1960’s wooden 50-footer…It is no surprise that a combination of Hinckley quality and Tripp seaworthiness produced a boat that boasts the longest-running production span of any fiberglass auxiliary sailboat – 32 years when hull #203 was launched in 1991” - “Heart of Glass: Fiberglass Boats and the Men Who Made Them” by Daniel Spurr, published by International Marine / McGraw Hill, 2000, p. 160-169. |
