In December 1941 as the United States entered World War II, the W.S. White was requisitioned by the navy. “Shortly after this, the company president White announced that after seventy-five years, the Rockland-Vinalhaven Steamboat Company would be going out of business. For over a year, the Penobscot Bay islands had no regular ferry service. Local fishermen and boat owners filled in as best they could, carrying passengers and freight back and forth to the mainland. Then, at a special town meeting in August 1942, Vinalhaven voted to raise $55,000 to build a powerboat. The result was a sixty-five-foot, diesel-powered “motership” named Vinalhaven II, built in Southwest Harbor, Maine.” -Stories from the Maine Coast: Skippers, Ships and Storms by Harry Gratwick. The Vinalhaven II was designed by Cyrus “Cy” Hamlin and is being worked on in this photograph by Robert “Bobby” Farnsworth Rich. Click here for more photos of the Vinalhaven II under construction at the Southwest Boat Corporation. | | | | |
