The
Adriana Room
was the masters bedroom and is furnished with an impressive mahogany,
Art Nouveau bedroom set dating from 1913. The large triple bay window,
with partial views of up town and the harbour, flood the room with
morning sun and make a marvelous setting for a quiet retreat
before you start your busy day. And to relax before bed, the private
ensuite bath is fitted with a very large claw foot tub for a leisurely
hot soak or shower. In keeping with the Homeport 5 star ideals you will
find thick fluffy towels and robes and a top of the line bed for a
great nights sleep. Renovated in 2012 there is now also a four poster
single bed making this the perfect family or sharing friends room.
The Adriana Room is named after the finest
ship ever built for the Roberts fleet. She was built and launched
in 1863 from the Roberts own shipyard, located on the Straight
Shore, a few hundred meters below the house. The Adriana was described
by a local reporter in 1863 as "a very neat and substantial
vessel of about 1400 tons Register... Mr. Roberts is building
the vessel for his own use and as far as we could learn is sparing
neither pains nor expense to render her a durable and serviceable
ship". She was constructed of the very best New Brunswick
woods and The Messrs. Roberts, the reporter thought "deserve
great credit for the enterprise which they have displayed in building
and sailing vessels on their own account. They have several afloat
at present, from which they are doubtless realizing a handsome
profit".
Adriana did well for the brothers Roberts
and sailed the world until February 1881 when she was stranded
and lost at the entrance to Galveston harbor in the Gulf of Mexico.
Adriana's name lives on today as the Master bedroom of the Homeport
B&B/Inn. No doubt the halls of our historic home rang with
tales of her bold adventures and able service.
