Model of Thetis II a.k.a. Lucia Cutts by Herman Savage

Model, wooden, of a boat once owned by Tud Bunker (named Thetis II); and later by Parky Shaw (re-named Lucia Cutts); white with tan trim and green bottom and rudder, metal propeller, pale green cloth cabin cover, blue interior; hull registration number ME 1983A, "Lucia Cutts, Cranberry Isles, Maine" on stern. This model was made by Herman Savage for Parky Shaw in 1983. Info from Willie Granston 2016 (Great Harbor Maritime Museum provided donor and other pertinent facts: "The Model of the Lucia Cutts was exhibited at GHMM in Northeast Harbor, loaned by Polly Bunker and was made by Herman Savage (of GCI). Lucia Cutts (also called Thetis at some point) was Tud's boat. It was built by Will Frost and was built with a skeg, but Arvard told me that Tud didn't like skeg boats and had it cut off and rebuilt at Cranberry. I think he sold it to Parkie Shaw, and last I knew it was over in the Blue Hill area, owned by a woman named Melissa Guiness (ca. 2006). There was a flag staff on the stern that I made for it (the original one was long gone) and which stayed with the boat until the last couple of years, but as I showed you, it seems to be gone now."
