died on June 27, 2024. Lindsey was born and grew up in Rockland, Maine. Summer work at Snow’s Shipyard, an interest in boat building, and World War II led him to MMA. Following graduation, he received a 3rd Assistant Engineers license for steam and motor vessels of unlimited horsepower. He sailed on the S.S. America and three other ships of U.S. Lines as Jr. 3rd engineer. He wrote that after that “…one thing led to another.” He made his home in Rockland where he first worked as an engineer on fishing boats. Upon attaining his pilot’s license, he was appointed Captain of Mobil Oil Company’s Cape Ann Socony, a tanker serving islands of mid-coastal Maine and down east. He was elected to the Rockland City Council and served as chairman. Lindsey held several other positions with Mobil and finished his 33-year career as Senior Marine Representative in the U.S. Marine Division, retiring in 1985. Lindsey remained busy in his well-equipped basement workshop. He and his wife continued to live independently in their house and enjoy visits with many friends and neighbors.
