In 1938 Henry R. Hinckley built Otto a classy little motor yacht, “Thalia B.” named, of course, for Thalia Rebecca (Bailey) Nutting. This was at a time when Hinckley, though known for its Manset yard, built many boats, particularly motor boats at what was later known as Southwest Boat on Clark Point in Southwest Harbor. “Thalia B.” was launched from that yard. Photographs show the Nuttings and many friends at the gala launching.

The BLB is the 20' dory used by Art and Nan Kellam for their regular trips between their home on Placentia Island and the mainland. The name of the boat, BLB, stands for “Bear loves Beum,” their nicknames for each other. The dory was build by Clifton Rich in 1949. The boat is now on display at the Country Store Museum in Bass Harbor during the summer months. Prior to display at the museum, the boat was restored and stabilized for display by Robert "Chummy" Rich, Clifton Rich's grandson and longtime boat builder.
