2016.356.2121Collection of four books from the Mountain house
  • Publication, Book
  • Events
  • People
  • Vessels, Merchant Vessel
Books, collection of four. (A) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1893 with illustrations and excellent information. (B) List of Merchant Vessels of the United States 1887. (C) The Island of Mount Desert Register - no date visible, but probably 1910. Book includes a chapter of history of Cranberry Isles, page 97. Many newspaper clippings from 1930s to 1960s glued to inside front book jacket and initial pages including obituaries, Cranberry Isles and Mount Desert news, shipwrecks and life savers, the firebug article etc. One black and white photo of the Mountain house before the fire. Obituary clippings include: Clara S. Alley Feb. 26, 1965; Gilbert Hadlock; Wilbert Rice; Mrs. Herbert Bell; Almenia Lurvey; Thomas M. Stanley; Charles Hulbert; Capt. William Bulger dies eleven days after his brother 1927; Mary Ann Carroll; Sim H. Mayo; Oscar Jarvis; Fred Phippen; Capt. Thomas Newman; Mrs. John Carroll; Otis Sawtelle; and Harvey Stanley; Also a handwritten list of the John Stanley, Jr. and wife Margaret family starting 1789 through 1842. Receipt from Strawbridge & Clothier for Mrs. Mabel Stanley no year. Info on Ellen Maria Spurling b. 1842 died 1929 and children. Note about Sam Chapman b. 1868 and Cora Chapman b. 1863. (Color photocopies made of articles and stored with book (C).) (D) "At Mount Desert: A Summer's Sowing" by Mildred Fairfax, copyright Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. “At Mount Desert,” by Mildred Fairfax, is in many respects a peculiarly attractive book. A defect of many stories is that they almost leave out the scenery, but it is not so in this instance. The tale itself is deeply interesting, with its young man gone astray, its good-angel sister, and its fortune lost and plotted for, but the writer is evidently in love with all the scenic effects of sea and sky and land along the rugged Maine coast, and at Mount Desert. There would be almost too much word-painting if it were not for the admirable half-tone photographic views which serve as illustrations. They become part of the narrative, and give it a realism not otherwise attainable.” (See www.ebay.com/itm/1893-At-Mount-Desert-Island-by-Mildred-Fairfax-A-Summers-Sowing-8-Plates-/322180352978).

2013.294.1896Indigenous American barrel-shaped Sweetgrass Basket
  • Object, Containers, Basket
  • Object, Other Object, Sweetgrass Object
Basket and lid, very small barrel shaped, flat bottom, made of braided sweetgrass or twine, and perhaps ash strips, with a blue card inside, probably from Smart Studio, reading "Antique Penobscot Indian Sweetgrass Basket, late 1800s, $55". This may be one of several Indigenous American basketry items collected by Mary E. Shaw (Mrs. Norman Shaw) ca. 1980-2000, who ran the Dancing Deer gift shop in Bar Harbor. She eventually sold them to Wini Smart's daughter, Gail, (per Mrs. Shaw visit 9/25/14).

  • Vessels, Boat, Lobster Boat
Photo, b&w snapshot, Wilfred Bunker (looking up) and Clarence Beal on board their lobster smack, Silas McClune. Per Ralph Stanley August 2016: The Silas McClune was built for the A. C. McClune Co. in Rockland. They were lobster dealers. Beal & Bunker bought the boat in the 1950s. They had the wet wells plugged and used it as a freight boat. They caught hake fish at GCI and took it to Vinalhaven for sale. Buster Rice was the captain. Beal & Bunker sold the boat to Arnold Allen who had a seining outfit. Ralph believes the boat went ashore and might be beneath the sewer plant in Southwest Harbor. (See also 2018.416.2824C.)

  • Image, Photograph
  • People
Photograph. Retouched photo of portrait of Captain Samuel Hadlock, Jr. by Heinrich Gottfried Krug, in pen and ink and pastel at Hamburg, Germany, in the year 1824, owned by Constance Aygun of Stamford CT. Hadlock was the original owner of the Preble House on GCI, with long storied history of expeditions in the north and exhibitions throughout Europe. He died when the Minerva became frozen in the ice ca. 1830. Per Wini Smart 2015 Bruce Komusin book: "Samuel Hadlock portrait - Bruce was contacted from the internet by a distant relative of Capt. Hadlock who lived in Connecticut. She had an oil portrait of the captain that had been painted while he was in Germany. Until this time we only had a silhouette illustrated in Rachel Field's book, God's Pocket. I visited her in Connecticut and photographed the small portrait. It was difficult to capture since it was under curved glass. Bruce Komusin painstakingly removed the reflections in the photo to make the image clear." (See 2002 photos/C. Aygun for photos of original portrait taken on site.) (Originally catalogued as 1000.0.1327 with little info.)

2017.382.2155Portrait of person in green jacket (perhaps Charles Gott)
  • Image, Photograph
  • People
Portrait. Large framed oval portrait of a man (or woman) in green jacket. Could be Charles Gott, possibly Lulu (Steele) Alley's husband at one time. Oval wood and bubble glass, perhaps a 'tiger wood' frame. On reverse in pencil script: "5713 Mr. Chas. Gott, Bar Harbor, ME". Gaile Colby recalled some information about Mr. Steele's old place. " A camp across from Polly Bunker's burned down after a lot of use. Louis Bracy was born in that house. It was an outhouse from the school originally and Sadie brought it down and added it to the 'camp'. Arthur built the replacement to the shack late 1960s 1970s. Arthur lived in the old shack, too. Sadie gave it to Madeleine, and Madeleine and Frank lived in it. Everyone lived in it. Liza and Pink's daughter, Elma, lived in it. Jeanne was her sister. Jeanne Start is who Lou Millar bought her house from. This portrait is one of several items from donors in summer 2016 prior to selling their house on The Lane, GCI. Many items pertain to Lulu Alley family. Items were in the house when donor's parents, June and Ed Sampson, bought the house from Lulu in November 1969.

" A camp across from Polly Bunker's burned down after a lot of use. Louis Bracy was born in that house. It was an outhouse from the school originally and Sadie brought it down and added it to the 'camp'. Arthur built the replacement to the shack late 1960s 1970s. Arthur lived in the old shack, too. Sadie gave it to Madeleine, and Madeleine and Frank lived in it. Everyone lived in it. Liza and Pink's daughter, Elma, lived in it. Jeanne was her sister.
