Beebe's famed Passagemaker for Rescued Before he died in 1988, Robert Beebe designed more than 150 vessels, none more famed than his 67th design which he built for himself and named Passagemaker. Beebe Collection at Mystic Seaport The Capt. Robert P. Beebe Collection consists of plans and manuscript material from the personal collection of Robert Beebe. The vessel plans were a 1999 donation presented to Mystic Seaport by his widow, Linford Donovan Beebe. His daughter, Lucy Beebe Tobias, consequently donated her father's manuscripts and photographic collection. Let's toast Robert Beebe and the original Passagemaker! |
