| 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 |

| 15846 | No-Name - Lobster Boat - Built for Joseph Elwood Spurling |
|
| 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. |

|
| Ralph Stanley built the 38’ lobster boat, “Miss Julie” for Robert P. Stevens of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts in 1975 to be used for offshore lobster fishing. She had bunks in the bow and carried a Caterpillar V-8 diesel engine. Robert later had a second, larger and more elaborate “Miss Julie.” Frederick W. Dauphinee of Scituate, president of the South Shore Lobster Fishermen's Association later owned the first “Miss Julie,” probably named “Acadia” by then. |

| 13961 | Ruthyeolyn - Lobster Boat |
|
| "In 1933 Henry [Hinckley] built his first boat [Ruthyeolyn], a 36-foot fisherman trimmed in Philipine mahogany. Her owner, Les Morrill, chartered to summer people for the summer, fished the boat himself for nine months, then cleaned her up and chartered for the next summer. The boat was so beautifully maintained that in 1973 when Les had to give up fishing, he offered to sell her back to the yard for $3,000." - "The Hinckley Story "by Benjamin B. Hinckley, Jr., published by Pilot Press, Dedham, Massachusetts, 1997, p. 21. |
