Description: The "William B. Stevens" is at the left. The "Palestine" is in the background. Distant wharf on the right is the Sardine Cannery (marina) before the cannery was enlarged. The boat on the left is the Wm. Stevens. Wooden lobster pots are stacked on the boat behind it.
Description: The remains of the burned Manset Coal Company wharf [now Manset Town Dock] are in the foreground. The wharf at the right was Stanley Fisheries.

Description: "Northern Light" was wrecked on the Rockland Breakwater in 1926. The photograph shows two schooners - a smaller one, a wrecking schooner, with another two masts, is behind and to the right of "Northern Light." On board "Northern Light" one can see at least one man in the crow's nest, one on board and two men hanging off the bowsprit. The vessel is being stripped of anything salvageable.
Description: Contrast the postcard view, titled "Entrance Somes Sound, North East Harbor, Me." in SWHPL 7010 with that of SWHPL 12460, which bears the title, "View near Somes Sound, So. West Harbor, Me." Both cards show the Nathaniel Gott House on Greenings Island. The image in SWHPL 12460 would be to the left or south of that in SWHPL 7010 if viewed from the water near Sutton Island. The title is misprinted on this card. It reads, "View near Somers Sound, So. West Harbor, Me." "Gladys" mailed the card to Miss Nena Reed in Seal Harbor from Center, Tremont, Maine on July 2, 1909. [show more]
Description: The view is from the Pemetic Hotel (The Castle) and, on the Southwest Harbor side, shows the Clarence Clark (Ellsbert/Heilaka) house left foreground. The long roofed building in the center, next to the harbor, a bowling alley after World War II - currently the Hamilton Marine building. The building on the right with the striped roof is the firm of Clark & Parker/Manset Marine Supply Co./ and the Oceanarium since 1979. The Oceanarium is the oldest commercial building on Clark Point - the only one extant except the Clarence Clark House. The Manset shore is in the background with discernible landmarks, including the Manset Union Church, the Stanley wharf, the early Stanley House and numerous commercial buildings on the Shore Road. There are about 30 schooners visible in the harbor and tied up at the wharves. - Identifications by Meredith Hutchins - 2006 [show more]
