Cased Model of the Schooner Victory Chimes , built by Erik A. R. Ronnberg, Jr., Massachusetts, 1999, vessel identified on pennant and brushed nickel plaque, overall ht. 22 3/4, lg. 35 1/2, dp. 10 1/4 in., in a glazed brass-bound case with mahogany base. Note: The Victory Chimes is a three-masted, gaff-rigged Chesapeake Ram schooner. She was launched in April of 1900 from the Bethel, Delaware, yard of George K. Phillips Co. as the Edwin And Maud , which was named for the two children of her first captain, Robert Riggin. Originally designed for and used as a general purpose cargo hauler, she was converted to a passenger cruise vessel in 1946. She is the only surviving example of the "Chesapeake Ram" type, and one of only three surviving examples of a three-masted schooner in the United States. She is now home-ported in Rockland, Maine.
