The Seal is an extremely stable, 51-foot, 49-passenger motor vessel. She was built in 1971 by William J. Hammastrom in Waretown, New Jersey and constructed of double-plank mahogany and then fiberglassed. She was delivered to a local Mount Desert Island boat captain to be used offshore for deep-sea fishing, and christened the Seal. Since then it has been used for Whale Watching and Nature Cruises. Diver Ed bought the boat in 2000 and with minor renovations converted it to a dive boat. She is powered with a single Detroit Diesel V8-71 and cruises at 10 knots with a maximum speed of 13 knots.
