The Schooner Brilliant (a.k.a Christine-Margaret, Logan James, and Thomas Hoyne) was built alongside the Red Lion by Ferd Nimphius in Neshkoro, Wisconsin. Charles Kuralt did a special feature on the construction of the wooden vessels in 1984. Douglas Turnbull and Charles "Jerry" Hodlmair commissioned the schooner Brilliant to be built by Nimphius Boat Works.
