  • Reference
  • Vessels, Steamboat
“The “Yarmouth,” said to be the finest and fastest sea-going steamer owned in the Dominion of Canada, is 1,432 tons gross; was built at the Clyde by A. MacMillan & Son, in the early part of 1887, for £24,000 sterling; is of 2,200 horse-power, lighted by electricity, steered by steam-power; has the other modern improvements, and berths for 350 passengers.

The “Yarmouth” is in charge of Capt. Harvey Doane, whose twenty years’ experience in steamers running to Yarmouth entitles him to the utmost confidence; and he is ably seconded by Capt. Samuel F. Stanwood, now acting pilot.” – “Yarmouth, Nova Scotia: A Sequel to Campbell’s History” by George S. Brown, Rand Avery Company, Printers, Boston, p. 505 – 1888. Photographer Henry L.

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.
