| 10898 | Lobster Yacht |
|
|
| 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 |

| 13726 | Chester T. Marshall - Lobster Smack |
|
| “The [well smack] “Chester T. Marshall” was built in East Boothbay in 1923 and was 70 feet long by 16 feet wide. She was an old-style round-stern sardine carrier that would carry about 50 hogsheads. [1 hogshead (hhd) = 17 ½ bushels or 63 U.S. gallons.] She was used as a lobster freighter and sardine carrier to various American factories. ["...two vessels were lengthened 10 feet [by Southwest Boat Corporation after 1946] by cutting them in two and building a new section amidships. One was a lobster smack, the "Chester T. Marshall" and the other was a fishing dragger, the "Joseph S. Mattos." - "Boatbuilding During World War II: MDI, Ellsworth, Stonington and Bluehill" by Ralph W. Stanley, p. 11 - 1997.] [At one time she was owned by the Consolidated Lobster Company.] The “Chester T. Marshall” is now [1993] owned by the Morrisons of Perry, Maine and used as a shut-off and purse seiner. The wheel house has been moved forward to make more room down stern.” - “Masts and Masters: A Brief History of Sardine Carriers and Boatmen” by John D. Gilman, published by John D. Gilman, 1993, p. 168-169. She was named for Chester T. Marshall (1886-1971), a mechanical engineer specializing in marine engines. Chester T, Marshall was born in Maine in August 1886. He married Margaret E. Perry on April 8, 1909. Chester T. Marshall died on August 16, 1971 in Rockland, Maine. In 1982 the “Chester T. Marshall” was called the “oldest seiner in Maine.” – “A Maine “Deeper In”: Washington and Aroostook Counties, ” photography and text by Martin Brown, published by Down East Books, Camden, Maine, 1982, p. 18. |
