Engraving is used for very few stamps today and, when one reads about the process, one can understand why. The author even provides particular engraver’s recipes for the acid they used, including that of James Smillie, the famous landscape engraver. Smillie - James Smillie (1807-1885) [show more] |

|  The Resurrection of the Sloop Endeavor Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The Friendship sloop Endeavor sunk off Rockland Harbor on July 24, 2001 while racing in the three-day Friendship Sloop Days Annual Homecoming. Divers searched for the wreck for a month until she was found 70 feet down on the bottom of the harbor by using sidescan SONAR on August 18th a short distance from where she went down.

This sequential set of photos shows the process of Endeavor being lifted out of the water by Salvage III and brought back to Southwest Harbor for inspection and repair.
