14845White Winger - Picnic Boat
  • Reference
  • Vessels, 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.

14236Tender for Motor Yacht Placida
  • Reference
  • Vessels, Boat
“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

14082Poor Richard - Passenger Boat
  • Reference
  • Vessels, Boat
“Poor Richard” is a 36’ passenger boat reminiscent of a lobster boat, built on the same mold as Ralph’s 38’ workboat design, but “just shortened up.” Ralph Stanley built her in 1979 for Rick Savage (Richard Manchester Savage II) who used her for passenger excursions, seating 20 people although she could seat 25 if necessary. There are several photographs of “Poor Richard” under construction in “Extraordinary Ordinary People: Five American Masters of Traditional Arts” by Alan Govenar, published by Candlewick Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, “Ralph W. Stanley, Boatbuilder” p. 17-29, 2006. “Poor Richard” was later owned by Fred Smith in Rockport, Maine.
