Regina Maris was a wooden-hulled sailing ship best-known for her service as an oceanographic research vessel.
When construction began, who commissioned it, where she was built, who built her, why she was built, when she was first launched.
NY Times says it was built in Denmark [3]
"For added strength, the frames of the prow were not sawed and bolted into shape, as in most vessels, but were cut out whole from special "compass timber;" that is, they are V-shaped slices taken out of living trees whose branches had grown naturally at the desired angle." [4]
Built for cargo, she once hauled guano in the nitrate trade. [5]
The Wilsons' story shows that she was sailed around the world as an adventure craft before being turned over to science, but Oxenhorn says she was purchased by George Nichols in Greece.
A documentary film titled "Regina Maris" and a book published by Capt. John Aa Wilson tell of the Regina Maris's purchase and overhaul by two millionaire maritime merchants named John and Sigfried Wilson. Another website suggested the film was made in 1968 on 16mm, documenting a 15-month circumnavigation from Norway by way of Cape Horn.
Regina Maris and her studies of whales, discoveries made aboard Regina Maris, etc.
Captain George Nicholas, Jr., founder of Sea Education Association and Ocean Research and Education Society, purchased Regina Maris in 1975, sailing her from Greece to Massachusetts in time to take part in the U.S. Bicentennial Tall Ships Parade. Shortly thereafter, Regina was reconfigured for her new role as a research vessel, having her cargo hold remodelled to serve as dormitory, library, and common space for her crew. [6] , Regina Maris was well-suited for cetacean research, as her speed and ability to sail on wind alone allowed her to track whales without disturbing them with engine noise.[ citation needed]
Need information about Kenneth C. Balcomb III, who is supposed to have been chief scientist aboard Regina Maris in the late 1970s.
Sank in Boston Harbor in 1988. See here
Last owner, conditions under which she suffered, reasoning for scuttling Regina Maris...
Towed from Greenport, NY to Glen Cove, NY by group wanting to restore her. [7]
Ocean Navigator: Regina Maris Escapes Scuttling (January 2003)
Ocean Navigator: Celebrated Barquentine Regina Maris Scrapped (January 2003)
Ocean Navigator: Rotting Barquentine Loses Race With Time (January 2003)
Ocean Navigator says she was still afloat in October 2003.
Ocean Navigator says she was scuttled before 2007.
This website says she was permanently wrecked when a crane crushed her hull in an attempt to move her after she sank at Glen Cove. The site claims she's now anchored in a concrete walkway. Poor boat.
Why every documentary from the '80s seems to mention her...
Harvey Oxenhorn's Tuning the Rig Soundtrack to the film "Regina Maris"
Oxenhorn mentions her being the subject of a BBC documentary about humpbacks, which he watched while a member of her crew. (pg 50 or so)
