Sourcing notes & unresolved questions
  • The identification with A. M. Bellingham rests on a 1936 Philippa in the WoodenBoat register credited to him, plus a brokerage listing for a sister Cooper Six-Tonner.
  • The register's Philippa is recorded in British Columbia rather than San Francisco Bay; whether the Bay boat of that name is that hull or a sister is unresolved.
