Ralph Stanley built the 38’ lobster boat, “Miss Julie” for Robert P. Stevens of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts in 1975 to be used for offshore lobster fishing. She had bunks in the bow and carried a Caterpillar V-8 diesel engine. Robert later had a second, larger and more elaborate “Miss Julie.”
Frederick W. Dauphinee of Scituate, president of the South Shore Lobster Fishermen's Association later owned the first “Miss Julie,” probably named “Acadia” by then.
