Document, Downeast Windjammer Cruises dated 3/21/2011 from Captain Steven F. Pagels. Subject: Great Cranberry Island Historical Society. Article mentions the newsletter, Cranberry Chronicles). Capt. Steven F. Pagels owned the ferry, Moleska, for a period of time. Capt. Pagels "purchased Moleska from Chuck Liebow where she was lying in his boat house on Great Cranberry. We needed a vessel for a pilot launch as we were then running pilots out to cruise ships entering and leaving Bar Harbor back in the 1990's. I believe the Moleska had been built at Southwest Boat right after WWII. We later sold Moleska and I believe she went down to Belfast." See also 2018.416.2824C.

Captain Charles "Pink" Stanley ties a Fireman's Chair Knot for Larry, Tommy, and Jimmy Williams, August 1958. On reverse of photo: "Captain Pink Stanley showing how to tie knots to Larry Williams (beside Pink), Tommy Williams (next), Jimmy Williams (standing), August 1958". Downeast Magazine January 2020 edition included this photo on page 62 of their section on "The Way Life Was." Tom Williams' recollection of the photo in 2019: "My mom was a good amateur photographer and her boys gave her plenty of opportunities for photos like this one. Pink lived about 4 houses up the road from our summer home on Great Cranberry. All three of us visited him frequently and we have fond memories. Pink would share a mug-up with my youngest brother, Larry. Jim would get his help repairing his bike, and I would mow his lawn. We owned a 35 ft Chris Craft that we would hire Pink to Captain for us. He knew all the shoals, currents, and best vantage points for enjoyable sightseeing. I was about 10 years old then and am over 70 now. I can only hope that I've lived a life sharing and teaching that would make Pink Stanley proud." Tom Williams thinks his cousin John Townes (local professional photographer) or his mother took this photograph. Phil Whitney recalls: "Captain Charles “Pink” Stanley was a lobsterman and captain for summer people. Pink was around the waterfront much of the time....It was not uncommon for the older waterfront "rats" to mentor younger kids." See also 2019.440.2805E.

Photographs. Digital copies of 41 color slides made in April 2015. They were loaned to Phil Whitney by Charles 'Chip' Sheppard following Phil Whitney's interview of him in Pennsylvania December 2014. Some slides are undated and some noted in ballpoint pen as years: 1947, 1948, 1950 and 1952. An e-mail from Melen Boothby identified Slide 296, taken in August of 1950, as "shot from my grandparents' house near Thrumcap and shows the wreck of a Canadian lumber schooner that ran aground during a storm in the '30s. Apparently people on the island were told to help themselves to the lumber as the ship wasn't going anywhere!" (Not sure if this means 1830s or 1930s?) Slides were scanned and returned to donor. Scenery, family and friends: Carl and Winston Sheppard's boat Kiri III, a B class Boat (slide 379); Emerson Ham (slide 38); fishing weir (slide 386); fishing, picnic, old cars, docks, and a blue lobster.
