1 Welcome! THANK YOU for taking a free copy of the Friendship Sloop Society’s annual Yearbook and Guide. We hope you find the articles and photographs of interest and kindly ask you to support our generous advertisers who enable us to bring this special publication to you. This is the story of a family of boats and how they weathered more than a century of change and why they still have a passionate following today. Each year a regatta sponsored by the Society is held in July in Maine. Check out the schedule of events inside, along with other classic boat races, regattas and rendezvous throughout New England. We encourage you to join us at www.fss.org. The Friendship Sloop was developed around 1880 for fishing and lobstering in Muscongus Bay on the Maine coast and has survived as one of only a few regional types now recognized as an American sailing classic. It is certain some of these fishermen had seen a Gloucester fishing boat and, being impressed with their lines, incorporated some of those features into their own hull designs. The basic form was scaled up or down depending on length (averaging 21’- 38’) and followed a pre-set formula. All had an elliptical or counter stern; most of them a clipper bow; long bowsprit; and all were gaff rigged. The cutter-rig sail plan was both distinctive and functional for the tending of traps and lines while underway, one of this boat’s most special attributes. By the late 19th century, small boat shops dotted the coastline of Maine and each builder had some little ‘secret innovation’ that made his vessel the best. Many names are remembered as builders of these sloops: Carters, McLains, Collomores, Winchenbachs, Stanleys and others, but Wilbur Morse’s name comes up as “the father of the Friendship Sloop” because of the large number that he produced in his shop in Friendship and whereby the sloop gradually acquired its name. Sadly, the advent of motors and modern equipment around 1915 almost relegated this beautiful craft to extinction, but her fine lines, seaworthiness and her great record have now added “yachting” to her long list of able uses. In modern times, Bernard MacKenzie of Scituate, Massachusetts sailed his beautiful Voyager in a Boston Power Squadron race in 1960 and won the race against a much stronger competition of Bermudian rigs with large spinnakers and genoas. This inspired him to have a Homecoming Race in Friendship Harbor in 1961 and this year is our 61st anniversary! The Friendship Sloop Society is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Maine in 1961. The purpose of the Society is to encourage the building and sailing of Friendship Sloops and to provide a forum for owners and friends to meet and enjoy one another around a common interest. Sloops registered with the society total 285 with the oldest wood original from 1899 still sailing, to the ‘newer’ fleet of fiberglass models developed by Jarvis Newman in the 1970’s.

This year will be the 61st year that the FSS has gathered in mid-coast Maine where the Friendship Sloop originated. Most of the sloops listed above will be docked in Rockland harbor during the regatta. Please come to our Homecoming Regatta in Rockland, Maine on July 21, July 22 & July 23, 2022 to see our beautiful, traditional sloops. We sail here annually to display and race our boats, greet visitors, answer their questions, and enjoy each other’s company. Join us under the tent, ask questions about our boats and their history and enjoy the friendship of our organization!

8 We Dedicate this 2022 FSS Yearbook to The Late RALPH W. STANLEY By David W. Graham As the year 2021 was coming to a close, the Friendship Sloop Society, plus the State of Maine and indeed, the entire nation, lost a priceless icon in the form of Ralph Stanley. It is in his memory, and for all the wonderful memories he has given us over the years, that we dedicate this 2022 yearbook to this longtime member of the Friendship Sloop Society. Born in 1929 into a family of Maine coast fishermen and boat-builders, Ralph spent nearly his entire lifetime in Southwest Harbor where his waterfront home and adjacent boat-building shop are located. In 1951 Ralph began the business of building lobster boats and maintaining a fleet of International One Design sloops from Northeast Harbor. In no time, Ralph was averaging two boat-builds each winter. It was in the early 1960s that Ralph’s shop produced his first Friendship sloop, the 33’ Hieronymus, a beautiful sloop that continues to ply the waters of the coast of Maine to this day. Over the course of his career Ralph built approximately 70 vessels, from sailboats to large offshore lobster boats, many of which are still in use. In designing his boats, Ralph used locally available wood including white cedar, oak, and pine. Rarely did he touch fiberglass. One of Ralph’s proudest achievements involved his work saving the nation’s oldest commissioned naval vessel – the USS Constitution. By the 1980s the ship was again in bad shape and her new Commanding Officer, David Cashman, had been given orders to get her back into seaworthy condition. To accomplish his orders Cashman reached out to Ralph in the fall of 1987 to inquire if he might “Look her over.” And that he did! At the agreed upon date, Ralph arrived at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston with his crew. During the next five days Ralph and crew crawled through every inch of a very tired and badly hogging “Old Ironsides” with a goal to determine what needed to be done to bring the old gal back into seaworthy condition. Ralph returned home where he proceeded Master Craftsman, Boat-Builder, Author, Musician, and Historian

9 to write a report on his findings and in short order (during those pre-computer days) David Cashman had in his hands a detailed, hand-written, 20-page double-sided report describing in exact detail what needed to be done to make the Constitution sea-worthy once again. Ralph’s report was then transcribed, word-for-word, into an official naval document, concerning the extensive hull-work required. Ralph’s hand-written report was then carefully sent off to the Naval Bureau of Ships at the Washington Navy Yard, where the report remains on file to this very day. All this was done without a single taxpayer dime being spent on Ralph and his team! Later that next spring, the ship was towed into the nearby Navy Yard drydock and given a long-overdue multi-year restoration of the hull of Constitution; one that would prepare her for the 1997 sail she would make to Marblehead and where she would celebrate her historic 200th anniversary. Of all the honors that were bestowed upon Ralph those many years, he readily indicated this was one he highly cherished – for it was the work done by the shipwrights following his carefully prepared report that made the USS Constitution seaworthy once again. What a proud achievement that was! Recognized far and wide, in 1999 the United States Government honored Ralph for his outstanding achievements in boat-building, awarding him a National Heritage Fellowship, the nation’s highest honor in the folk and traditional arts by the National Endowment for the Arts, at ceremonies held in Washington, DC. But this was far from the only honor, for Ralph Stanley was a very talented and accomplished guy and while his work on wooden boats always seemed to be in demand at his Southwest Harbor boat shop, Ralph’s time was also devoted in several other fascinating directions. For example, as an accomplished violinmaker of quality “fiddles” Ralph was also a talented player of such instruments. Later in retirement, Ralph devoted much of his time to studying genealogy. As time went on, Ralph became a dedicated amateur historian uncovering and documenting long-forgotten data concerning the history of Maine boatbuilding and writing articles based on his research. He also took part in presentations sponsored by museums throughout New England. Perhaps favorite amongst his writings was the hardcover book, The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles: and Other Colorful Characters, available at Amazon and other retail outlets. Fittingly, but admittedly long overdue, it was in 2020 when the Society’s Executive Committee elected Ralph Stanley to Honorary Membership within the Friendship Sloop Society – something of which Ralph was extremely proud. These are but thumbnail sketches of why we dedicate this 2022 Friendship Sloop Society Yearbook to our very own RALPH W. STANLEY!

12 Racing is Back SAIL EDITORS OCT 26, 2021 Of course, there’s more to sailboat racing than just locking horns out on the water. There’s also the fun of the boats themselves. Case in point: the Friendship Sloop Society and its annual Homecoming Regatta, which marked its 60th anniversary this summer on the waters off Rockland, Maine. This year’s event included three days of racing and a parade of sail. Equally important was the chance to renew the many friendships that exist within this historic class, in which it’s not unusual for the drop-dead gorgeous boats to be passed down through multiple generations. For the latest on the Friendship Sloop Society, visit fss.org. Friendship Sloop 60th Annual Regatta Photo courtesy of Bill Finch. Adapted and reprinted with permission, Sail Magazine website.

13 With wind in sails, Friendship Sloops descend for 60th races! Condensed from an original story and photos by Ken Waltz and courtesy of Courier Publications/VillageSoup Three-day event includes all manner of Maine weather conditions as the beautiful, majestic, originally designed-for-fishing boats with storied, working-class history return to Rockland Harbor to compete after missing 2020 due to pandemic. ROCKLAND — Not even rain, heavy winds or hail for a period of time on one of the three days – or remnants of an ongoing pandemic – could stop an historic fleet of boats from making their appointed rounds around the course during the Friendship Sloop Society’s 60th Homecoming Sailing Regatta, held last July 22-24, 2021 in and around Rockland Harbor and Owls Head, Maine. The weather was ideal at times during the event, not held in 2020 due to COVID-19 but back in 2021, with nearly 20 boats moored at the docks off the public landing when not out on the water doing what they do best — namely, majestically sailing across the ocean. Thursday and Saturday held beautiful conditions, if not always the amount of wind desired, where Friday, at times, included more challenging conditions, including rain and hail. The event traditionally has been as much about fun, camaraderie and family tradition as competitive racing. The sloops have a storied history as working vessels, traditionally lobstering, but have been used for racing for six decades, including early on in Friendship when the annual event often drew 65 or more boats. More recently, the event has been held in Rockland. The society sponsors the local event, but there are other classic boat races, regattas and rendezvous throughout New England. Sloops registered with the society total 285, with the oldest wood original from 1899 still sailing, to the newer feet of fiberglass models developed by Jarvis Newman in the 1970s.

Again, I crouched my legs making ready to leap aboard. Wayne brought her in close making for an easy leap aboard as she made a fast pass by the dock. As soon as I landed on the starboard rail with “Rights” headed for the shore toward the Samoset, I heard Wayne’s voice behind me yell, “Chris, take the wheel!” Wayne SEASONAL & TRANSIENT MOORINGS & SLIPS AVAILABLE Easily accessible from the Cape Cod Canal

31 was on the dock and I was on board “Rights.” I scrambled to the wheel, hauled in the main sheet and sailed “Rights” into the wind and away from land, making a loop into the harbor to circle back and pick up Wayne. My cousin Maria, trying to make sense of the sudden turn of events asked me what had just happened? I replied, “They call me Captain Jack Sparrow.” (He from the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies and known for stealing vessels!). I circled back to the dock, but was too far off for Wayne to leap aboard. I made a second pass and then Wayne jumped aboard as I sailed by. It turned out that Wayne had realized, as he came in close to the dock on his second pass to pick me up, that he had put his boat at risk because his long boom was slacked off and about to cross over the dock. The multiple strands of the mainsheet running between the blocks on the boom and the aft deck horse were about to drag across the dock and fetch up on a large cleat as “Rights” sailed forward with momentum on the approach. He had leaped onto the dock to grab the mainsheets and carry them over the cleat where they would have likely caught.

32 Sharing a Way of Life Through Lasting Friendships By Laurie Fullerton Adapted from an article in the June 2022 issue of SAIL Magazine and used with permission When nearly twenty Friendship Sloops set out for the starting line just off Rockland, Maine this past July, instead of lining up for the pre-start, the fleet continued sailing. They formed a small flotilla beyond the race course so a Friendship Sloop Society member could scatter the ashes of her parents – per her father’s wishes. After a brief ceremony, the fleet then turned back towards the starting line, waiting for a gun that would mark the start of three days of competitive sailing amongst four generations of families attending the 60th annual Friendship Sloop Homecoming Days. Brought together by the sloops they love, sail, race, build and care for, the Friendship Sloop Homecoming is a yearly gathering in Maine of Friendship Sloop Society (FSS) members and sloop owners. Remembering those early founders of the FSS, which began in 1961, is a fitting way to mark the yearly homecoming, which for many began when they were toddlers in life jackets, bound for Maine on the very same family sloop. “When the event started in the 1960s we didn’t expect for it to go on for 60 years,” said Carolyn Zuber whose family has owned the 32-foot, 119-year-old #71 Gladiator since 1966. “What it has become is a community of sailors. There are lots of traditional boats and when these are well sailed they are beautiful. You don’t have to be born into it but people also don’t come to this lightly.” Nothing could be more accurate, for maintaining, cruising and racing these sloops is often a lifetime commitment. “The excitement when it began in 1961 in Friendship, was not only for the racing but the event seemed to capture the country’s attention as people at that time were looking back and wanted to preserve things that were disappearing. It was not just a race but a cultural event,” said National Heritage Fellow Harold Burnham who began sailing to Friendship with his parents, siblings and later with his children starting in the late 1960s. “Thousands of people came from all over the coast and many remember when in 1962, a blue yawl came sailing through Friendship harbor to see the races and on board it was President John F. Kennedy (and Maine Senator Edwin Muskie). That was a really big deal for the President to show up.” Over 60 years, the FSS’s preservation of the sloops still manages to create excitement, as the boat remains an icon of Maine’s maritime heritage. In 2010, then President Barack Obama witnessed the precursor event, the Southwest Harbor Rendezvous Race, held the week before Homecoming. Racing in Friendship, 1970s Photo: Roger Duncan

33 The attraction of the Friendship Sloop is in part due to its simplicity. When they were first built in the late 1800s in Friendship, Maine as a working boat, designer/builders like Wilbur Morse chose steam bent rather than sawn frames with soft wood planking – creating a lightly constructed, sea-kindly boat that could also stand up to a lot of wear and tear. The building methods also leant themselves to the growth of home-built Friendship sloops among society members adding more families, participation and competition to the homecoming races. It is due in part to the painstaking care the sloops are given and the skills of the sloop owners themselves who learned to repair, refurbish, build or rebuild them that the fleet kept growing and the sailors’ racing kept improving. “I was a very young child in 1961 when the Friendship sloop Eagle came into my yard, and not long after my father Don Huston and his brothers and our family attended their first Friendship Sloop Homecoming in 1969,” said Diane Fassak, who was the commodore of the FSS from 2019-2021. “Many of the enthusiasts in those days were WWII veterans or had been in the Navy. For that reason, the FSS has always been full of very good sailors. As many of them were also working as engineers, they were drawn to the function and design of the sloops.” A number of FSS members also benefited from the expertise of Maine shipwrights including master shipwright and National Heritage Fellow Ralph Stanley of Southwest Harbor, Maine. Stanley is credited with building some of the most beautiful Friendship sloops in the fleet while also refurbishing and preserving many of those that are still out racing today. Until his death in late 2021, Stanley still attended the homecoming days and particularly loved to see one of his sloops win the race. “Although the Friendship Sloop was originally designed to stop and sit on a lobster pot, among those of us who grew up on Friendship sloops in the 60s and 70s who still race today – we really learned how to make a traditional boat sail fast. This skill is evident during our homecoming races,” Burnham said. “If you put any of these Friendship sloop sailors from the generation I grew up with and allow them to fiddle with a traditional rig, they can make any boat of any kind sail faster.

34 Tannis is able to beat so many classic boats at events like the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. All eight children are sought after for their sailing skills. The beauty and durability of an original Wilbur Morse designed sloop, or a Ralph Stanley built wooden Friendship also caught the eye of the fiberglass boat builder Jarvis Newman who is credited with building 38 fiberglass Friendship sloops. He was a young man working at General Electric in Lynn Mass in the 1960s and happened to be on vacation with his family when he heard there was a gathering of sloops in Friendship. He decided to see what it was all about. Jarvis and his wife Susan fell in love with sloops and they soon became the owners of the 1904, 31-foot, #2 Dictator. He then used another Friendship Sloop, the 25-foot Old Baldy, #57, built in 1965 by James Rockefeller, as a mold for a fiberglass boat matching the exact displacement of the original. The subsequent series of hulls became known as “Pemaquids.” By 1969, he had launched a boat building business and his high performing fiberglass boats contributed to the growth and sustainability of the FSS. In 1973 he molded a series of hulls from his own boat Dictator for that series of 31-foot hulls. The respect he had for wooden Friendships comes through clearly in a 1982 film entitled “The Friendship Sloop – A Heritage Retained” featuring master shipwright Ralph Stanley building a wooden sloop and Jarvis Newman building a fiberglass one simultaneously. It became an award-winning documentary. “In a sense, we are basically a one design fleet, with its public domain and good building plans,” said Miff Lauriat who owns the Jarvis Newman built fiberglass 25-foot #90 Salatia which was built by Newman for his father in 1969. “What I really like – having come here for 50 years – is that, although a boat like mine is 52-years old, it is competitive sailing against similar fiberglass boats that are newer and are all sailing well. One of the things and I really appreciate is that when people really know how to sail the boat we can really have a great race.” The FSS Homecoming and racing remained in Friendship from 1961 to 1983 and then moved to Boothbay for 12 years. It finally settled in Rockland, where the event occurs today right off the breakwater and visitors can walk the docks to see the boats before and after the races. While many sloops remain in the family, it does sometimes take a shared passion for the boats to sustain the interest and pass it down to the next generation. For Cindy Pendleton, marrying Bill Cronin (who is one of the eight Cronin siblings), introduced her into a family of Friendship Sloop sailors, which was all the more rewarding, as she was a schooner sailor herself. “I am lucky to be married to someone who loves sailing as much as I do, Old Baldy and molds.

35 and because I worked on traditionally rigged boats earlier in my life, I love being on one.” The couple have two college-aged children and share the 38-foot Friendship sloop #7 Tannis, built in 1937, with the rest of the large family who have owned her for 45-years. Tannis was recently completely rebuilt by the Cronin family who are also master carpenters and own Cronin Cabinets. “People used to say to us, “Do the kids like it?” Pendleton said, as the couple’s children have been attending Homecoming days since they were babies. “Well, they didn’t really have a choice as we were all going sailing. There are other families whose kids don’t participate but ours both like sailing and it becomes a happy time for us. My son has decided he is going to build a Friendship sloop and my daughter has decided she is going to take over Tannis and be in charge of her when she gets older.” Julia Merrill of Portland, Maine has been coming to race with her husband, children and brother-in-law and his wife Greg & Annette Merrill for over 30 years. Greg & Annette own the 25-foot #227 Celebration built by Jarvis Newman in 1980. “For most of our married lives, we get together for the races each July. My sister-in-law and I varnish the spars together and we all help get the boat ready for this event. Our grown children come too and the cousins are now old enough to bring their children. People are serious about racing here but most of all they want to see their friends and family. We are also very welcoming to new people who soon become a part of the fleet.” Acquiring a Friendship Sloop is more of a search by the current owner for the right people. Such was the case for Richard and Karen Schwartz of Portland, Maine who recently took possession of the 28-foot #167 Freedom built for Dick Dudman in 1976 by Ralph Stanley. Dudman was a Washington Post journalist held captive during the Vietnam War. While he was imprisoned, he promised himself if he was able to get home again, he wanted a Friendship sloop. After a lifetime of sailing Freedom the search was on for the next owner. Later purchased by Maldwin Drummond, Freedom was again on the hunt. “After we met Mr. Drummond, we learned he must have approved of us. That was when we knew we were Friendship Sloop owners. We knew that all Friendship Sloop owners want them to take care of them and that is what we have done,” Schwartz said. They have been attending FSS Homecoming Days for the past four years. “When we first come to this group, we were a little intimidated by the size of the crowd and at first it feels a bit like it is a closed group, he said. “Very quickly you feel like you are part of a L to R: Kenerson and Braman Cronin piloting Tannis.

36 big family and it is an unbelievable feeling.” In the 200-page book, Lasting Friendships published by the FSS, it features 100 illustrated pages called the ‘Catalog of Sloops.’ There are 283 registered with the FSS and after each description of the sloop, it marks the year that “the boat took possession of its current owner.” John Wojcik who is in his mid 70s, is the registrar of the FSS and like many, he and his wife Carole depart southern Massachusetts on board his 25-foot #180 Banshee, joined by what they call the Buzzard’s Bay group to make the yearly trek to midcoastal Maine for the July Homecoming Days. “Now that I am retired, we take our time more getting there and back and we logged 700 miles this summer with our group getting to and from the rendezvous.” As registrar Wojcik has made it his mission to try and keep track of every Friendship sloop but it has become more challenging as the participating fleet has dwindled in the past decades, in part because boats are bought and moved to other parts of the country. “One of the biggest problems we have is trying to keep track of them,” Wojcik said. “They are such unique boats and we want to know how or where they are and if they still exist. We always offer new owners’ membership to the FSS and simply ask them to register them with us but it is a never-ending battle to find out where they are today.” Wojcik believes that attendance at the Homecoming Days event in July is holding steady despite the cost of ownership and the time constraints of cruising and racing today. “When I was commodore of the FSS thirty years ago I used to worry that it would all end under my watch. But here it is thirty years later and we are still holding steady.” Recent past commodore Diane Fassak would agree that FSS participation is holding steady and she thinks it is in part because of the can-do attitude of many of its members. “…we don’t have anything to sell, but people still show up and remain drawn to this.” Commodore Fassak calling for volunteers… “NOW!” M a r i t i m e W a t e r c o l o r s B y J u l i a n Ta b l a d a J u l i a n W a t e r c o l o r s . c o m v i r t u a l g a l l e r y & s t o r e Accepting special orders & commissions Julian@JulianWatercolors.com 404.578.4474 @JulianWatercolors I n s t a g r a m

37 Memories of Retriever By Ben Rice At 22’ 8”, Retriever was amongst the smallest of Friendships. That size seemed to suit the builder, Warren Prescott “Scotty” Gannet, who built several others around that size although we learned later he also built a 31’ “pocket schooner.” Scotty built Retriever in 1942 at Scituate, Massachusetts where he was a plumber by trade, with an obvious love of good-looking sailboats – at least for the building of them. Legend has it that Scotty liked nothing better than getting aboard one of his creations and use the built-in coal stove to cook bread pudding for himself and crew. That explained the spinning ‘Charlie Noble’ vent above the galley, and the coal we found filling the spaces under both berths upon purchasing her in the fall of 1966. Retriever’s hull planking was fastened with peened- over copper nails, and her shrouds and turnbuckles were bronze. How Scotty could get ahold of so much copper and bronze in the midst of a war effort remains a mystery, as 1943 was the year of the steel penny. That size also suited my dad John Rice, who, unbeknownst to his family, was one of the saltiest dogs living on the South Shore of Boston. For the princely sum of $1,500 (in 1966 dollars) Retriever came “fully outfitted” from John Plante, who was a neighbor of a cousin in Chelmsford. Fully outfitted meant she had main, jib, staysail, and club topsail, all manila running rigging, a cockpit-discharging manual bilge pump, an alcohol stove, a compass, a barometer and three anchors. Also included was a genuine WWII “Mae West” life preserver, and a mouth-blown foghorn that sounded like a bleating sheep. CAPT. G. W.

38 As with all sailboats that size, Retriever’s cabin had only sitting headroom. This “sitting” entailed one of two things: either on the twelve inch high wooden stool (also original equipment!) or, on the sharp retaining edge of a berth leaning uncomfortably toward the centerline to avoid even less comfortable contact with the deck close overhead. But what the cabin lacked in headroom it made up for in length, hosting two berths plus a quarter berth stretching back beside the cockpit, as well as a galley built into the corresponding space on the other side. This layout would turn out to be a key enabler for my dad and me to cruise the Maine coast for up to three weeks at a time. The long cabin left only about four feet for the cockpit, which Dad assured us was a good thing in case the cockpit shipped green water – not totally reassuring to an 11-year-old who’d never before set foot upon a boat. Seating was on the few inches of deck outside of the cockpit coaming, over which legs were duly draped. The straight tiller stretched from aft of the cockpit to within a foot of the companionway and swept side to side, limited only by the coaming. That meager one-foot of clear space would become the only refuge for the shins of anyone (other than the helmsman!) in the cockpit during any tacking maneuver. So, after removing the coal, the first thing to be done was to create a winter cover for Retriever. Dad had constructed several pieces of furniture before and had no trouble constructing the frame. We got an immensely heavy brown oiled canvas tarpaulin to cover everything aft of the mast, lacing it to a smaller one to cover the foredeck. Every evening and weekend that first winter saw Dad and me back in our barn working on yet another boat: Retriever’s tender. As I helped Dad create the construction frame for an 8’ pram, it wasn’t at all clear to me what was taking shape, or exactly why it was needed. But by mid-winter with some boat frames and two transoms revealing the intended shape, the rest was sure to be not far behind. Dad understood how to work with wood and readily understood plans. But my craftmanship skills were nonexistent; woodshop in school was still two years away. My ‘help’ consisted mostly of holding stuff and finding mislaid items. Sometimes my little help was essential, as when the corners of the plywood bottom needed to take sharp bends to meet the chine and bow transom. My balancing on each of these allowed Dad to put a few thousand screws in with his Yankee “automatic” screwdriver. Built with a centerboard and rudder, Dad fashioned a spritsail for the pram. The few times we sailed it the next summer we found the sailing characteristics left a bit to be desired…but to this day it’s the best rowing pram I’ve ever encountered. When the pram was finally finished, I had an enormous sense of accomplishment. Hardly had we finished the pram when the snows melted and yet another requirement for my weekends appeared: boatyard work. Young’s Boatyard was to become my second home that spring, for there seemed hardly enough daylight in each weekend to finish the unending adjustments evidently needed by Retriever. “The Yard” was out on a salt meadow protected from the sea by a barrier beach running North-South between the first two of the four Scituate Cliffs – remains of glacial drumlins that the sea has yet to reclaim. The faces of the four Cliffs look east into Massachusetts Bay but what people usually meant by “the Cliffs” was their western ends, home to a

39 few fortunate souls. The only road between First and Second Cliff ran between the Yard and the beach with those modest cottages facing the sea. Scituate’s Inner Harbor formed the yard’s western boundary and to the north, past impenetrable bulrushes, shrubs and trees rose on First Cliff. The Yard occupied the southern end of the meadow and for one hundred feet around the main building the ground was concrete. Here and there washed- up clumps of dead bleached and embrittled reeds lined up in rows on the ground hinted at just how low the yard lay in relation to high tide. A couple dozen boats were stored on the concrete, mainly the larger power vessels. The rest were stored on the packed sand north of the concrete. Further north the boats tended to be smaller and older, with the most distant looking somewhat neglected and a few even downright derelict. That was a sad thing for even a young landlubber to gaze upon, since they so obviously had at one time been such a source of joy and merriment. My respect for Dad’s commitment to this endeavor grew and I had the feeling that something great would come of it. Our first launch of Retriever was a memorable experience on a beautiful June morning. The day before, we’d carried the mast, from what by now seemed to be its natural place on Retriever’s cradle, to sawhorses near the launch railway. There, we’d attached about a thousand lines and shrouds, securing these with extra line to keep them from moving out of place when lifted. The yard workers, who seldom worked far from their building, then appeared at Retriever’s cradle pushing a couple of long I-beam axles with a car wheel at each end. After raising Retriever’s cradle with big ratcheting jacks, the I-beams were rolled under each cradle end and then lowered onto the I-beams. With the help of an old pickup truck as a pull-vehicle, Retriever rolled out from between her neighbors, and between the rows of boats. Before long, Retriever’s cradle had been deposited on the launch railway platform and the pull-vehicle was next joined to that. When it came time for her trip down the railway into the water, the decision was made that I could be aboard. Besides tremendous excitement, I had an unfamiliar sense of immense responsibility, along with no small amount of pride. After months of climbing all over this cold, unyielding and totally inert structure, I had no idea of what was in store. The feeling of her suddenly bobbing in the water beneath me was exciting beyond description. The boat was alive! But the magic of floating soon gave way to a harsh reality – we were sinking! There was an awful lot of water rushing into the bilge from lots of unseen places. It was then that the purpose and method of that manual bilge pump became important. The pump had to be primed by spilling water from a bucket Traditional line & fittings, expert advice, and professional rigging services.

40 into a circular opening in the cockpit sole with one hand, while frantically pumping with the other to raise bilge water before all the priming water leaked out – which took about 4 seconds. At first, the particular pumping stroke needed to both activate the valves and lift water into the cockpit without losing prime was elusive. But after hours and days of practice, it became second nature. While I was getting that practice, the mast came dangling over the foredeck and was steered between the pin rails and through the deck. With the mast stepped and deck wedges in place, Retriever’s motion was noticeably calmer. And when the other spars and standing rigging were set up, she suddenly appeared a true ship. Now, being a boat, there were of course, a few other surprises. The next being that we needed to move ourselves off of the railway platform so that another boat could be launched. Purchased with no engine, Dad had bought Retriever a 5-hp British Seagull outboard motor with extended shaft and clutch. I had never imagined that a new outboard could be so ugly and look so ancient. Creating a stern transom mount for the Seagull had been another spring project, and now it was time to use it. Starting that Seagull, and cajoling it into moving us toward one of the yard floats was another new adventure. But in the calmest of water, we got there and stayed for the rest of the day. The next day, with leaks somewhat lessened, we headed off on our first grand voyage – from the sanctuary of the back of Scituate’s Inner Harbor to our mooring plumb on the far side of the Outer Harbor.

41 By Andy Zuber People ask me how old Gladiator is. I tell them she was built in 1902. “Well, that’s pretty old,” they say. “Yes, that is 120 years” I say. “Wow”, they say. But I ask you; do you really appreciate just how long that is? I thought I would start this article with a bit of a timeline to give the age of Gladiator some true perspective. Gladiator was built 120 years ago as of March 1902. Now if you went back in American history 120 years from that point in time you would be in the year 1782. That is the year the Revolutionary War ended and the United States was recognized as a nation. I will let that sink in a bit… In 1902 Teddy Roosevelt was the President of the United Stated States. The Spanish- American War had been over for only 4 years, and Queen Victoria had just died the year before. It would be a year before Wilbur and Orville took their first flight; 10 years before the Titanic sailed; and 15 years before the United States joined in World War 1. The coast of Maine was a much different place then, with steamships, electric trollies and steam trains, and barely any kind of motorcar, as Ford Motor Company wasn’t in existence until 1903. It was the apogee of the sail era with sailing schooners, sloops and yachts of all types sailing the coast. Almost all transport was done by water at that time. It was the height of the Victorian Age and the Industrial Revolution was in full swing – with the increase in the use of the telephone and electricity slowly replacing coal, gas, and whale oil. It was America’s Colonial Age with the start of the building of the “Great White Fleet” of iron-hulled battleships circling the globe, showing the world that the United States was now a world power. Daniel Simmons of Waldoboro, Maine, whose great-grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War, had a Sloop built by the McLain Brothers of Bremen Long Island in Muscongus Bay. Gladiator: measuring 32 feet in length on deck, 27.5 feet on the water line, 11-foot beam, and 5.6-foot draft was to be built by Alexander McLain, nephew to George McLain (famous schooner designer of Essex, MA). Her lumber was Finch&Rose 978 s 922s 4950 finch@finchrose.com Historic Preservation Consultants 50 Front Street, Beverly, MA 01915-5035 Services to museums, architects, and building owners for the conservation, repair, and restoration of historic properties

42 probably cut and milled in either Waldoboro or Bristol Mills and shipped to the Island. The framing and deadwood were all white oak, the planking all clear white cedar. The galvanized square-cut nails, bronze bolts, and galvanized wire were probably shipped by steamboat up from Boston or Gloucester. She was launched into Clam Cove on the south west side of Bremen Long Island into Muscongus Bay, in late March of 1902, taken up the Medomak River to Waldoboro and measured to be documented for “The Fisheries” with a gross tonnage of 7 tons. Her official number is 86711 and remains so to this day. Her purchase price was $450.00 with sails and rigging. Gladiator was built to go longline fishing off shore as opposed to lobstering. Therefore, she is more heavily built than most other Friendship Sloops that I have seen over the years. In fact, she still retains 80-90% of her original framing, including her deck beams and hull-length shear clamps. These are all over sized and cut to interlock, which gave her immense strength and obvious survivability. She is also deeper forward as she was meant to go off shore, which gives her more forward buoyancy as well as a bit more room below. It also means she is a dry boat in a sea, which I have come to appreciate over the years. The drawbacks to these attributes means Gladiator is more of a heavy weight than a sprinter when it comes to racing. She can go in a light breeze if you leave the wheel alone, but she prefers a bit of wind to really show her stuff. She can also hold up to a blow when others would be blown off. Having a deeper forefoot can be handy for pointing to windward in the right conditions, as I have shown several modern “race boats” – much to their chagrin. Gladiator fished until 1927 and did not have an engine until 1920. At that point she made her way to the Chesapeake region and was converted into a pleasure boat. In 1941, she was re-planked in Maryland with cypress, as cedar could not be gotten due Gladiator under full canvas, ca. 1970s Photograph by Roger Duncan

43 to it being used during World War II. She was then owned by the Record family in the Maryland area for almost 40 years and called Vera Jean. She was sold to a young man in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey in 1964 and bought by my father Bill Zuber in 1967 when Gladiator was 65 years old! She was named Downeaster at that time. Mom and Dad brought her back to Friendship that year, and they found the old document number in the court records in Waldoboro, and re-discovered Gladiator’s original name and lineage. I came into the picture in 1968. I have been sailing on Gladiator my whole life, and assisted my dad in a rebuild from 1982-1987 consisting of removal and replacement of the deadwood (wood added below the keelson); removing both garboard planks; taking out the cement previously placed in the bilges on top of the keelson; replacing several floor timbers; installing new deadwood and 4,000lbs of external lead ballast keel; refastening all planking (5,000 square-cut nails peened over inside); and replacing several ribs where needed. And then cold molding the entire hull with a West System impregnated diagonal wood laminate and fiberglass. Now I realize that last piece may seem like sacrilege to many wooden boat nuts, but in the past 35 years I have seen no issues with delamination or increased rot or other issues. And the labor is more user-friendly. I have been so fortunate to have the experience of being born and growing up with such a classic American boat as my sister. It is hard for me to even fathom how lucky this boat is to still exist. It is my honor to continue the stewardship of maintaining such a valuable piece of maritime history, which I have learned so much from in my life. So I hope you all can now appreciate Gladiator just as much as me, and I thank my Dad for bringing me along, and sharing such a wonderful gift with me.

44 A Sailor’s Journal By Julian Tablada I have always considered myself a decent sailor and artist. My journal and watercolors accompanied me on my business and personal travels around the world. My favorite trips always involved being near or on the water and usually on a sailboat. I have stacks of journals documenting these trips with colorful sketches and notes. Oftentimes, beer, wine, or the ocean provided the “water” for my paints. My job as an architect and my life as a husband, father, and grandfather took priority over my love of painting and sailing for many years. My journal sketches rarely made it to a finished painting, but that changed when I retired in July 2020. My days are spent sailing and traveling, most often with watercolors and sketchbook in hand. I now have time to bring those sketches to a full piece of paper and sell them through my website and as commissioned art. As I prepared for a trip to the coasts of Massachusetts and Maine in July, I studied the classical sailboats of the area. I became enamored with the Friendship Sloops and was excited to find that our visit coincided with the annual Friendship Sloop races in Rockland. We were able to visit with boat owners on the docks and saw many sloops up close. Watching them racing gave me an appreciation for the beauty of these boats, their sails, and their graceful lines as they cut through the water. Their maritime history makes them even more appealing to study and paint. But these old ships and their massive sails create a challenge to paint and capture the essence of their beauty. The tall stack of study paintings in my studio attests to that difficulty and my quest to get it right. The Friendship Sloop evolved in response to the rigors of fishing in the weather and sea conditions of Maine’s coastal waters. Their hulls are shaped to cut through rough Atlantic waves and provide a stable platform to work nets and lobster traps. The sloops originated around 1880 in Muscongus Bay, Maine in the village of Friendship and is now considered one of a few surviving American classic sailing vessels. Wilbur Morse of Friendship, Maine built the most sloops and is considered “The Father of the Friendship Sloop.” By 1925 these sailboats were replaced by motorized workboats and were saved from extinction by sailors who converted them to recreational sailing. Some of these sailors and their families are the founders of the Friendship Sloop Society who work to promote and preserve the sloops. There are roughly 285 Friendship Sloops known or sailing today and one, Blackjack launched in 1899, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Set the Mains’l Wide” watercolor, 14×10 in.

45 71 Townsend Ave. Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538 Tel. 207-633-4300 Harbour Towne Inn Waterfront on the The maritime heritage of these iconic Maine sloops and the spirit of the Friendship Sloop Society family transcend the mere physical beauty of the sloops and are stories we artists can tell in our paintings. These are stories of adventure, hard work, history, and a love of sailing beautiful sloops that only art can convey. The sloops have very distinctive features that lend an historic aesthetic to marine paintings. Judy Heininger and Ted Walsh of Black Star, FSS #247, welcomed me aboard their sloop in Rockland Harbor. The sloop is a work of art whose lines flow harmoniously much like shapes of soaring birds and sleek sea animals. One can see her graceful lines in the painting “FS Black Star.” The sweeping compound curves of the hull make drawing them very challenging but offer the artist many exciting viewpoints. Dennis Huston, brother of Diane Fassak the 2021 Commodore of the Friendship Sloop Society, wrote: “The special character of the vessels is in the art and science of advanced 19th century technology, a study in form following function. Start with a purpose driven clipper bow, lofty, graceful, and sea-worthy, enabling a swift and clean cut through rough or calm seas. The lines then continue longer, wider, and deeper culminating in an oval at the stern. The widest and deepest area is just aft of the midpoint, providing great “FSS Black Star” watercolor, 10 x 14 in.

46 stability and little drag. Forward gaff rig engineering reveals a secret beauty within. Set the mainsail wide and easy and the perfectly balanced sloops sail themselves, staying on course, and freeing the sailors to work.” The basic rigging of a Friendship Sloop is a cutter rig with mainsail, staysail, and jib. These are called Baldheaded Sloops. Some Friendship Sloops have a topsail above the mainsail and a third headsail called a flying jib. These sloops are Topmasted Sloops. Their billowing sails give the illusion of giant clouds gliding over the ocean. It is easy to see the balance inherent in the boat’s design and the effect the wind and sea have on its structure. They are simple machines with no room for frills. Masts, spars, and halyards bend and the canvas sails billow to the force of the wind that drives the sloops through the water. Polished wood fittings are handmade and are pieces of working art. Hardware has a beauty whose purpose is clearly expressed in form and material. Spars are wood and finished in clear varnishes displaying rich wood tones. Even resting on their mooring buoys, they appear to be eager to get underway. As a sailor, I marvel at the beauty and perfection of these humble working machines. As a painter, the compositions and stories to be told about the Friendship Sloops are endless and magical and I can’t wait to get back to the waters of Maine to continue my journey into the past and the future of these beautiful boats. Thank you to our friends Nancy and Robert Primeaux for inviting us to Maine and introducing us to the Friendship Sloops and to the many folks at the Friendship Sloop Society for their patience in educating me and providing quotes. I hope your generosity and help with this article will be repaid by a heightened interest in the Friendship Sloops, The Friendship Sloop Society, and the preservation and promotion of maritime history and maritime art.
