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]
