|  USS Constitution - Frigate Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: In the War of 1812, during the British blockade of the east coast, two British frigates, HMS Junon and HMS Tenedos, chased the USS Constitution into Marblehead Harbor and the safety of Fort Sewall. "When the USS Constitution, 'Old Ironsides,' was preparing for its 200th anniversary in 1997, the crew from Ralph W. Stanley was called in to help determine if it was seaworthy. So Ralph, Richard and his brother-in-law, Tim Goodwin, went to Boston to conduct a survey of the old warship. 'I went all over that ship,' Richard Stanley said. 'She was really in good shape. She could have sailed.' They made some suggestions, although he said he didn't know what the Navy did with the ship. It did sail again, he added." - from 'Stanley Boat Leaving Southwest Harbor' by Rich Hewitt, Bangor Daily News, August 24, 2009. July 1997, in honor of the 200th anniversary of USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides," commissioning, Capt. William Harland Kelley was chosen to sail the famous 204', 3-masted wooden frigate out of Boston, into Marblehead Harbor and back to Boston. This was her first independent sail in 116 years.

|  Niliraga - Schooner Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: When "Niliraga" sailed in Mount Desert waters she was owned by the Dunn and Milliken families and sailed off of Sutton Island and Northeast Harbor, Maine. Ralph Warren Stanley sailed her for both families. She was built with a shorter bowsprit and single jib, but she had such a weather helm that Mr. Dunn had the bowsprit lengthened and an extra jib added and original jib made smaller. “That helped her some.” She was sold away and featured in a TV mini-series. "Some guy was 'murdered' on her deck." She ended up in Brewer, Maine, "probably cut up and dumped." - Ralph Stanley 01/28/2013. [show more] | |||

|
|  J.T. Morse - Side-Wheel Steamer Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "The "J.T. Morse" was the last of the picturesque fleet of sidewheelers whose gleaming white hulls and long foaming white wakes were once such a decorative part of the Maine scene, set in the blue of Penobscot Bay against the green background of the mountains and the wooded offshore islands. The vessel was designed specifically for the Rockland-Bar Harbor Line, connecting the overnight Boston-to-Bangor steamers at Rockland. She was ordered as a replacement for the sidewheeler "Mount Desert," built at Bath in 1879, which by the turn of the century had become too small to handle the growing summer passenger and freight business…" "The "Morse" ran her last regular season in Maine in 1931…Steamer patronage had dwindled because of the competition from the automobile, and it was no longer profitable to operate her…" - Penobscot Bay, Mount Desert and Eastport Steamboat Album by Allie Ryan, p. 6 to 11 - 1972. These six pages tell the complete story of the "J.T. Morse." [show more] | |||
