Aerial photos of the Hinckley Company boatyard in Manset
Southwest Harbor Public Library
  • Image, Photograph, Photographic Print
  • Businesses, Boatbuilding Business
  • Copyright Undetermined
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]
