“This vessel was built as a U. S. Navy hospital ship, “The Comfort,” and served in the Pacific during World War II and later served as a U. S. Army transport to bring the troops back home. Reportedly the nurses’ lounge of the vessel had once been hit by a kamikaze in Okinawa. When the Maine Maritime Academy Students went to sea in her as “The State of Maine,” the three padded cells in the former psycho ward of the hospital ship, were still in place. Philip Rich [Philip Clifton Rich (1941-)], who attended the Academy from 1959-1962, bunked in the former isolation ward, which held only five or six cadets, during his junior year and remembers that the plumbing fixtures of the former psycho ward had levers, not regular handles. They used the padded cells on the second deck as storages closets to supplement the cadets’ small storage lockers.” – Meredith Hutchins 01/25/12

The clipping reads: "MANSET, Me., Feb. 10 (AP) Yacht builders of Manset have resumed an art dormant since pre-war days, the fashioning of king-sized pleasure craft on Mount Desert Island. Of "two sixty-footers now building, one is a future. Bermuda race contender ordered by Harry G. Haskell Jr. of Wilmington, Del. and Northeast Harbor. The other will fly the flag of Cummins Catherwood of Philadelphia. The yachts are. on ways of Henry R. Hinckley & Co. Shipwrights expect Mr. Haskell's craft will be launched in April or May. The tentative date for the other launching is June 17." The Catherwood boat was the Valhalla. The Haskell boat was the Nirvana.
