LAUNCHED

LAUNCHED
LAUNCHED on May 15 was the Triple Trouble, the first Millennium Marine vessel that was built in Eastport for a local buyer. Brent and Sara Griffin of Pembroke lost their boat Double Trouble 2 when the Eastport breakwater collapsed in December and discovered they were significantly underinsured. Brent typically resumes lobster fishing by the beginning of May, and with the help of Ruth Cash-Smith of CEI and Susan Hatton of the Sunrise County Economic Council, the Griffins were able to obtain a bank loan, TIF loan and a TIF grant in addition to their own investment. Now that they have three children -- 12-year-old Natcha, 10-year-old Kyle and one-year-old Brett, who celebrated his birthday on the day of the launch -- Triple Trouble seemed like a good new name.
