Description:
"The first Coast Guard presence in the Mt. Desert Island area was a Life Saving Station located on Little Cranberry Island, established by an act of congress on June 18th, 1878. In 1937, the Southwest Harbor complex was created and used as a lighthouse depot by the U.S. Light House Service. By 1945, the Coast Guard Station on Little Cranberry Island was moved to the facility in Southwest Harbor.” - “Sector Field Office (SFO) Southwest Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Maine – History,” United States Coast Guard site, 06/28/13, Accessed online 07/20/10; http://www.uscg.mil/d1/sfoSouthwestHarbor/history.asp.
