14941Merry Wings - Maine Sloop Boat
  • Reference
  • Vessels, Boat, Sailboat, Sloop
  • 1903 c.
"Merry Wing" was a Maine Sloop Boat, a centerboard sloop because Lewis Freeman Gott was from Gotts Island and he needed to be able to raise the centerboard to get into the Pool there. Lewis Freeman Gott won a cup for winning the Eagle Island Races three years in a row with "Merry Wing". The cup may be seen in the Tremont Historical Society Museum. "Local lore has it that she was the fastest sailboat in the area, and from time to time was entered in the early races held in the Great Harbor (Southwest Harbor - Northeast Harbor - Cranberry Isles neighborhood) under the auspices of the Northeast Harbor Fleet, and there proved her merit by beating everybody!" - The Newsletter of the Tremont Historical Society, Vol. 15, No. 1, Summer 2012, p. 1.

  • 2001-08-24
  • Rockland ME
The Friendship sloop Endeavor sunk off Rockland Harbor on July 24, 2001 while racing in the three-day Friendship Sloop Days Annual Homecoming. Divers searched for the wreck for a month until she was found 70 feet down on the bottom of the harbor by using sidescan SONAR on August 18th a short distance from where she went down. Efforts to raise “Endeavor” were unsuccessful until Southwest Harbor captain Douglas E. Beal Jr. (1952-), aboard his “Salvage III” brought her up on Friday, August 24 and brought her back home. This sequential set of photos shows the process of Endeavor being lifted out of the water by Salvage III and brought back to Southwest Harbor for inspection and repair. The photos also show the damage to the boat after a month under water.

10898Lobster Yacht
  • Reference
  • Vessels, Boat, Lobster Boat
  • Southwest Harbor
The term "Lobster Yacht" denotes a pleasure boat built on the lines of a working lobster boat. The term is more commonly used "away" than on Mount Desert Island. This name describes the look of these boats in a world where so many working and pleasure boats resemble each other. Boat builders on MDI would probably not use this term so this database generally uses the term "pleasure boat" and leaves the viewer to make his or her own distinction. The following publications and many others use the term Lobster Yacht: - National Fisherman, Volume 70, 1989 - Understanding Boat Design by Edward S. Brewer and Ted Brewer, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 1993 - The Illustrated Dictionary of Boating Terms: 2,000 Essential Terms for Sailors & Powerboaters by John Rousmaniere, W. W. Norton & Company, 1998 - Wooden Boat, Wooden Boat Publications, 2005 - Sorensen's Guide to Powerboats, 2 by Eric Sorensen, published by McGraw-Hill Professional, 2007

  • Vessels, Boat, Lobster Boat
This no-name spray hood lobster boat was originally owned by Joseph Elwood Spurling. The vessel had been brought up to Maine by summer people and so started out life as being slightly more elegant than the common fishing boat. She was planked with southern cedar and copper fastened. Elwood used her for weir fishing. He later sold it to Henry Lewis Linscott. When Ralph Ober Phippen owned the vessel he used it for lobster fishing. – Ralph Warren Stanley, 2009.
