In 1938 Henry R. Hinckley built Otto a classy little motor yacht, “Thalia B.” named, of course, for Thalia Rebecca (Bailey) Nutting.

The BLB is the 20' dory used by Art and Nan Kellam for their regular trips between their home on Placentia Island and the mainland.

Prior to display at the museum, the boat was restored and stabilized for display by Robert "Chummy" Rich, Clifton Rich's grandson and longtime boat builder.
