Vessel History

Ugly Anne was built in North Berwick, Maine during the fall/winter of 1975/76, and launched in Wells Maine in June of 1976.  The Ugly Anne was built by George Guptil and is called an offshore lobster boat or downeast lobster, built for one or two overnights of lobstering, around 20 miles offshore in the North Atlantic.  She was built with oak ribs and mahogany planking; and weighing about 17 tons.  Over the years she has been repowered a few times, the current engine is a Detroit Diesel with around 600 horse power.  The Coast Guard inspects all passenger vessels annually, and over the years they have become allies in keeping the Ugly Anne safe and up to date.

Ugly Anne was used for lobstering until the mid 1980’s and then was rigged out with gallows frames and a winch to set and hall a dragnet, both for fish and Maine Shrimp. 

With commercial fishing becoming more difficult in the Gulf of Maine, she then was converted in to a charter boat in the summer months and lobstering in the winter. 

Ugly Anne was named for the first wife of the former owner.  Anne was a big city girl, and was living in the small town of Ogunquit, Maine, Anne missed living in the city, and in Maine, ugly frequently refers to personality as much as to physical attributes, and since Anne was unhappy living in Ogunquit, and she wanted to Ken to name the boat after her, he named it Ugly Anne.

A statement from the former owner “Ugly Anne is going to a good home and am happy that she will continue to be Ugly Anne; the big red boat, in Mackinaw City, Michigan.  I hope to be one of the passengers, enjoying the sights on Lake Huron. 

Current owner had ugly Anne shipped in the spring of 2011 behind a semi.  Across Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, up through Michigan, across the Mackinac Bridge into the upper peninsula.  Had it taken off the semi, cleaned her up a bit and put her in the fresh water.
