|
| During the winter of 1956-7, Roger C. Rich and Francis “Mickey” Fahey went to Plymouth, Massachusetts to build a replica of the Pilgrim’s shallop, while at the same time a replica of the Mayflower was being built in Plymouth, England. The shallop, 33’ long and equipped with a mainsail, a jib and oars, was the vessel that had remained with the Pilgrims in 1621 when the Mayflower sailed back to England. My father’s brother, Robert Rich, was a friend of George Davis, owner of Plymouth Marine Railways, who had the contract. Mr. Davis, whose father and grandfather came from Washington County, claimed that Maine boat builders were the best. He subcontracted the job to my Uncle Bobby (Robert Farnsworth Rich), who then hired my father and Mickey to actually go and build the boat.” – Meredith Rich Hutchins, Newsletter of the Tremont Historical Society, Spring 2006, v9 Number 2.

| 14236 | Tender for Motor Yacht Placida |
|
| “The Placida had two launch tenders. The starboard launch was the one usually used to take members of the owner's party (guests etc.) to and from shore facilities such as the Clifton Dock in Northeast Harbor or any other place where the yacht was unable to tie up to a pier. The port launch was used to take the crew ashore and bring supplies on board when needed. The port launch could also be used when the starboard launch needed engine repairs since the two launches were the same size. The starboard launch is the one used as the Northeast Harbor Fleet race committee boat. The race committee started boat races and recorded how they finished. This went on for a year or two immediately following World War II. I do not recall seeing the port launch after the War.” – Albie Neilson 09/12/11 |

| 14845 | White Winger - Picnic Boat |
|
| "White Winger" 22-24' was built by Ronald Dean Rich c. 1952 for his own use at the Ronald Rich Boatshop, 50 Clark Point Road, Southwest Harbor, Maine. The vessel was named for the White-Winged Scoter, also known as a White-Winged Coot. On summer Sundays Ronald, his wife and three daughters would take "White Winger" out for picnics in Blue Hill Bay, sometimes to Placentia Island, but mostly to Sand Beach on the north end of Pond Island where Ronald enjoyed picking cranberries and digging clams while his daughters swam, rowed and water skied. Sometime in the nineteen sixties, when the girls were teenagers and no longer interested in family picnics, the boat was sold to a Sutton Island resident and then sold to someone in Seal Harbor. |
