The Miranda, an oyster dredger, was built in 1906 in Kennebunk for Charles Dan Parmalee of the Narragansett Bay Oyster Company of Providence, Rhode Island.

The dredger was powered by a 200 horsepower compound engine and vertical boiler, built by the Portland Company.

The Miranda was named after one the owner's great-grandfather used in the Caribbean trade.

After the Miranda was abandoned, the pilot house was lifted off and used as a telephone booth at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut.
