Description:
The aerial photograph above appears to have been taken in the mid 1970s, but no earlier than 1974 because of the presence of a 1974 Pontiac Trans Am and what looks like a 1974 VW Super Beetle in the parking areas. The other photo is older, possibly late 1950s, as is evidenced by the cars and the absence of some of the newer building in the first photograph. In the older image, The Moorings is clearly visible in the upper right portion of the photo. [show more]

Ralph Stanley Inc.
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
After earning an associate's degree from a college in northern Maine, Stanley returned to Southwest Harbor. Not sure what occupation he wanted to pursue, he decided to try to build a boat. So he earned the money he needed to buy wood and other construction materials and, during the winter of 1951-1952, he built a 28-foot lobster boat. The boat turned out well and a local person bought it. This led to orders for other boats. "I've been building (boats) ever since," he said. Stanley learned how to build boats not by apprenticing himself to another boatbuilder but mainly by keenly observing and using boats and by observing the activities of several professional boatbuilders who specialized in the Mt. Desert Island version of the Maine lobster boat. [show more]
