2023.653.3143Carrie Richardson Folding Bed
  • Object, Furnishings, Bed, Folding Bed
  • Object, Furnishings, Sleeping & Reclining Furniture
This bed was a feature of the schooner ‘Carrie M. Richardson’ and was used by the ship's namesake, celestial navigator and later owner Carrie Stanley Richardson. Island legend has it that Carrie didn’t like to sleep in the bunks as the rest of the sailors did and so when the schooner was stopped at a dock, she went hunting and found this unusual folding bed. After she passed away, it was left in the boathouse at the Lew Stanley boatyard. Bob LaHotan-who co owned the boatyard with John Heliker-would sleep in the very same bed!
