The Boston Herald of June odd has two,
cuts and description of schooner William
Butman. which has been remodeled into a
houseboat of palatial style by Charles
Stedman Hanks, prominent member of
the North shore colony. The Butman was
built at Searsport in 1861, in McGilvery's
yard. The master workman, Capt. George
A. Carver, was assisted by master work
men Marshall Dutch and Marlboro Packard
Work was begun on her early in April, and
she was launched June 10th. She was very
heavily timbered of oak, left over from a
ship that had been built in the yard. She
was built for and commanded by Capt Mel
son Smart. Mr.. Hanks proposes to take
cruise along shore to Nova Scotia, and it is
hoped he will make visit to Searsport at
the head of Penobscot bay, as his schooner
would here receive rousing welcome from
the oldaSsociationS connected with this, her
home port, for so many years.
