The Edmund Phinney was a merchant sailing ship built in 1873 in Deering with its home port in Portland.

J.S. Winslow & Co. of Portland controlled one of the largest fleets of sailing vessels on the Atlantic coast. The Winslow shipyard constructed more that 100 vessels, and continued to have a controlling interest in most.
