1962 FSS Yearbook

Welcome Aboard… “Friendship Sloop Day” August 11, 1962 FRIENDSHIP MAINE – The Home of the Sloop

Ko cq K tnQ THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED By FEYLER FISH CO. Rockland, Maine Welcome to Sloop Days Thursday and Friday, August 9th and 10th, start our festivities off with preliminary races, and Saturday will be the “big day” with activities planned for all day (see schedule, page 9). Friday evening there will be a chicken barbecue dinner served on the shore of the harbor at 6:30 p. m. Everyone is welcome. There will be a concert of recorded band music played over our public address system, during and immediately following the serving of the barbecue. At sundown we will make “Friendship” become a reality. Homes and wharves facing the harbor will be lighted, while boats with mounted lights will wind their way among the visiting sloops at anchor in the harbor. Those of us on shore will carry lights and congregate on the wharves to mingle and visit in a spirit of friendli- ness and welcome. Comes the dawn on Saturday, and things will start to hum! Page 9 outlines the activities for the day. The Sloop Day Committee has worked hard to make the day a pleasant one for everyone. Whether you are a sloop owner, a member of a crew — a boating enthusiast, a “native”, “sum- mar folk”, or just passing through, we hope you will enjoy yourself. For your convenience, we have provided parking lots for your cars at no charge, and free taxi service anywhere in town, so you won’t get caught in a traffic jam. We have set up toilets, and information booths, snack bars, and places to rest and relax. Party boats will be here Saturday so those who desire will be able to view the racing from the water. While the sloops are racing in the bay on Saturday, there will be swimming, rowing, and outboard events for the youngsters, with appropriate trophies for the winners. We want the youngsters to feel they are a part of “Sloop Day.” There will be places in the village as well as in the harbor area, where you will be able to have snacks, cold drinks, ice cream, and even lobsters. The two grocery stores will be open to serve you. The Methodist Church Vestry offers a place to relax, and the Ladies Aid will serve sandwiches, light snacks, tea, coffee and milk, from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m.; thus affording people with small children a place to get away from the hustle and bustle. We have provided for a super deluxe lobster-clam bake complete with all the “fixin’s”. This will be served from 2 to 6 p. m. on Saturday. The activities will end up with the presentation of the trophies at the Skippers’ banquet. This banquet is for the sloop owners, their crews and families, and members of the Friendship Sloop Society, and must necessarily, but regrettably be limited because of the size of our town hall. We sincerely hope our efforts to make your day pleasurable have been successful and that we’ll see you again next year.

Bottom – Wilbur Morse Boat Yard. Dedication He who would discover the originator of the Friendship Sloop will hear conflicting stories. Some say that Bremen folk found a Portugese Fisherman grounded out in Gloucester, Mass., and liked her looks so well that they memorized her lines and built a sloop from them. Warren Morse (not related to Wilbur Morse) built several centerboard sloops (and some deep draft sloops) over on Morse’s Island — some of them before Wilbur came to Friendship. It is true that Wilbur built his first sloops over on Bremen Island, on a farm now owned by Dr. Myron Hahn, whose sloop “Depression” is moored off Gene Brown’s wharf. It is also true that the McLains and the Carters built sloops in Bremen. Some of their descendants claim they were the originators. It appears that most of these people (except Warren Morse) were closely related in building sloops in the early days, and that there was some intermarriags. Mary Morse, one of five sisters of Wilbur, married Rob McLain, and several Carters worked for Wilbur after his shop was established in Friendship. Descendants of two of these families agree that when any one of these built a boat with superior qualities, he shared his new success with the others, all being more or less united in the same endeavor. Wilbur Morse held the spotlight at the first “Sloop Day” last summer, and rightly =o. Through the years ths names “Friendship Sloop” and “Wilbur Morse” have been almost synonymous because of the business acumen of the man and the large number of sloops which bore his identifying trail-board design. To this writer, it would seem unimportant and well-nigh impossible to name any one “originator” of the “Friendship Sloop”. The sloop is so famous and so beloved by all boatmen everywhere, that there is honor enough and to spare, so the Friendship Sloop Day Committee hereby dedicates this second “Sloop Regatta” to the following men who shared in building this great Ameri- can sailing craft: JONAH MORSE—shop foreman in Wilbur’s shop for many years: the men liked to work for him. Later set up in Damariscotta and built his own sloops. CHARLES MORSE—first built sloops on what is now Dwight Wotton’s place, then moved to Thomaston. Roger Morse of that town is his grandson. ALBERT MORSE—built sloops in Gushing. GEORGE WASHINGTON (WASH) CARTER—built sloops in Bremen; suffered a fatal heart attack while working beneath a sloop he was building in 1894. ABDON CARTER—son of “Wash” Carter: built sloops in Bremen. GEORGE CARTER—son of “Wash” Carter: made models for Abdon, Wash and others: he also worked for Charles Morse. ROB McLAIN—built sloops in Bremen. EUGENE McLAIN—built sloops in Bremen.

The Tamils II THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY Boston Globe Photo Wall Rope Co. The Harris Co. History of Sloop Day The 1960 Boston Power Squadron race for Auxiliary Sloops was sailed in a blow which made it necessary for the sleek racing craft to shorten sail in order to stand up. However, the Friendship Sloop “Voyager”, weatherwise and sturdy built, found such wind “quite comfortable, thank you” and sailed across the finish line in a shower of spray and spindrift with all sails set, well ahead of all other entrants. In the excitement of this success an idea was born to skipper Bernard MacKenzie of Scituate, Mass. He told his friend Earl Banner of the Boston Globe, and the latter sent him to John Gould of the Lisbon Falls Enterprise, in Maine. These two visited Carlton Simmons and Herald Jones in Friendship, Maine, and in a remarkably short time the Friendship Sloop Society, Incorporat- ed, was preparing for the first Homecoming Race for Friendship Sloops to be held in Muscongus Bay on July 22nd. The National/Maine Coast Fisherman started the publicity rolling with a half -page picture of a Friendship Sloop and a story of the proposed regatta. Other papers and magazines took up the story, and soon the secretary was receiving membership applications from near and far. A local committee on arrangements got busy, and on July 22nd the first Friendship Sloop Regatta took place with fourteen sloops entered in the race and an estimated five thousand spectators watching the unusual sight. Even the weather man cooperated and provided the first clear day in weeks, Governor Reed presented trophies to the winning skippers at a buffet held in the Town Hall. To Friendship, “Sloop Day” is a matter of pride, for producing this fine American sailing vessel is something of which a town can be proud. It is hoped that through “Sloop Day” many new sloops will be built, some of them in Friendship. We want to continue to merit such tributes as Arthur Griffin paid last year, when he called it “the most un-spoiled yachting event” he had attended. This is a day for people who have a definite interest in Friendship, and in Friendship Sloops.

How does a grateful committee on arrangements go about showing its appreciation for all the help given by so many people in preparing and carrying through this second “Sloop Day Regatta”? Friendship residents have helped with chores, with welcome suggestions, with purchase of memberships and donations of money to help with expenses, and have entered into the job of playing host to the many guests, willingly and with genuine enthusiasm. Summer residents have shown their love for Friendship in so many ways — even those whose property is over run by the attendant crowds. The departments of State — the Department of Economic Development, Sea and Shore Fisheries, the State Police, the Sheriff’s Deputies, the Publicity Bureau, the Governor’s Executive Council and Governor Reed himself — have given ready assistance where needed. The Press and the Press Photographers, the Radio and Television Stations, have carried our stories and spread information about our program, giving us excellent local, regional and nation-wide news coverage. Even our lobstermen and lobster buyers, so important to the economy of our town, and right in the midst of their best harvest season, have been pa- tient with the crowded harbor and have given help where they could. Where would we be without the skippers and crews of the sloops? To them our warmest friendship and a thanks for helping to make “Sloop Day” possible. Many people have sent membership fees who, because of distance cannot be here in person — just because they love to see the Friendship Sloop honored. These are some of our most important members. To each individual member of the committee and to the officers of the Society our grateful thanks for all the time, thought and energy expended. One name must be mentioned for all this would not have happened if Bernard MacKenzie hadn’t conceived the idea and promoted it with so much vigor until it finally “caught on”. Last year the Wawenock Power Squadron held a rendezvous here on Sloop Day. This year they have chosen so to do once again, and have graciously of- fered their services in helping to patrol the race course for us. For this we are most grateful.
