This 11 by 14 inch black and white photograph is a copy of a Ballard photograph. The print is of the Northeast Harbor Fleet dock and clubhouse. There is a beached A boat named the Nevis by the side of the dock. An adult is working on the hull, it looks like he is painting the bottom. Three other males, of various ages, are by the boat.

Sailboats in Southwest Harbor
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This 6 by 10 inch black and white photograph is a duplicate of #001-71.4. That picture is labeled Northeast Harbor rather than Southwest Harbor like this photo is. I believe Northeast Harbor is more accurate. There are 10 or 11 gaff-rigged sailboats sailing. In the background are the mountains of Mt. Desert Island. This photograph is fuzzy and has two spots on the upper lefthand side.

Sailboat in Northeast Harbor
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This 6 and 1/4 by 9 and 3/4 inch, black and white photograph is mounted on light gray cardboard-like paper. The foreground of the picture is dark so the sailboat is a black shadow and it is impossible to make out the details of the boat's hull. There are black clouds in the sky and a piece of land in the background. On the backside, the words, "Northeast Harbor" are written, as well as, "19431/Guide".

Landscape
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This is an 8 by 10 inch black and white photograph mounted on gray cardboard. It is difficult to determine where this photograph was taken. It seems as if it was taken on a wooded knoll looking out to the ocean. There are points of land jutting out in the background and it looks as if there is a sandy inlet at the base of the knoll. The original inventory list indicates that "Merry Christmas in Gold Lettering" is written on the gray matte. However, those words do not appear now. [show more]

Sailboat Race in Somes Sound Near Northeast Harbor
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This is a 6 by 10 inch black and white photograph mounted on a gray cardboard. It appears to be a duplicate of object #001-71.1. The backside is labeled as in #001-71.1. That is "race, Somes Sonnel, Northeast Harbor". Again, the mountains of Mount Desert Island are in the background but it is questionable as to whether the race is on Somes Sound. (ALW) The photo is faded and cloudy but does not have the green spots on the left as #001-71.1 does. [show more]

Sailboat Race in Somes Sound near Northeast Harbor
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This is an 8 by 12 inch, black and white photograph mounted on white board. On the backside, it is labeled in ink as "race, Somes Sonnel, Northeast Harbor". The photograph definitely has the mountains of Mount Desert Island in the background, but I question whether it is Somes Sound which I think is what the person who wrote the label intended to write. (ALW) There are 10 gaff-rigged sailboats racing. The race committee boat can be seen in the background, off to the right side of the photo. This is in poor condition because it appears faded and has green spots on the left side of the photo. [show more]
