Richard Lewis Stanley was born on March 14, 1962 to Ralph Warren Stanley and Marion Louise (Linscott) Stanley in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Richard grew up in his father’s boat shop and began to help him build boats when he was very young. Richard’s name started appearing as a builder in 1983 when he helped to father build the 28-foot schooner, “Equinox” given to Mystic Seaport. Richard grew up to be a fine boat builder. “He’s a better boat builder than I am.” Ralph told Charlotte Morrill in 2010.
