Description	Port view of a converted William Phinney catboat anchored in the Connecticut River. The deck is cut back and sailboat cabin replaced with a motorboat-style cabin and top. Joseph Mallord William Nourse and Ann Nourse are on board.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Joseph M. W. Nourse purchased the Phinney catboat hull from C. E. French Boat Yard in Devon circa 1937 and installed an inboard 22 horsepower Gray marine engine. It sank in the 1938 hurricane, was salvaged and underwent later modifications. The Nourse family cruised in the boat on the Housatonic and in Long Island Sound to Charles Island off Milford in the pre-World War II period, and in the Connecticut River in the postwar period. From 1945 to 1947-48 it was moored off the town dock in Wethersfield. The new boat cabin was designed and built by Nourse.
