(D) "At Mount Desert: A Summer's Sowing" by Mildred Fairfax, copyright Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society, 1893. “At Mount Desert,” by Mildred Fairfax, is in many respects a peculiarly attractive book. A defect of many stories is that they almost leave out the scenery, but it is not so in this instance. The tale itself is deeply interesting, with its young man gone astray, its good-angel sister, and its fortune lost and plotted for, but the writer is evidently in love with all the scenic effects of sea and sky and land along the rugged Maine coast, and at Mount Desert. There would be almost too much word-painting if it were not for the admirable half-tone photographic views which serve as illustrations. They become part of the narrative, and give it a realism not otherwise attainable.” (See www.ebay.com/itm/1893-At-Mount-Desert-Island-by-Mildred-Fairfax-A-Summers-Sowing-8-Plates-/322180352978).

The result was a sixty-five-foot, diesel-powered “motorship” named “Vinalhaven II,” built in Southwest Harbor, Maine. The boat went into service in July 1943, and Charles Philbrook was her captain…” – “Stories from the Maine Coast: Skppers, Ships and Storms” by Harry Gratwick, The History Press, 2012, p. 54-55.

"Crew of Barge May Be Lost The Rosemont, with No One Aboard, Is Stranded Near Amagansett Life Saving Station Eastport, L.I., April 8 – In a heavy gale and a tremendous surf the barge Rosemont of Bath, Me., coal laden, bound from Fall River, Mass., stranded on a bar one and a half miles west of the Amagansett Life Saving Station early this morning. The life savers boarded the barge and found no one on the vessel. It is believed that the members of the crew were drowned. A watch is being kept for bodies along the beach.

The Rosemont was coal laden, and left Philadelphia April 6, in tow of the tug Eureka, for Boston. The crew of the Rosemont was rescued by the tug." – The Brooklyn Eagle, April 15, 1903. "Schooner Barges The sailing vessels include craft built primarily to be towed, although equipped with sails which are used only to assist in steering. These craft, known as “schooner barges,” are thus described in the report of the Commissioner of Navigation for 1905: “A seagoing schooner barge is a vessel usually towed from port to port, but rigged with masts and furnished with sails, so that if in emergency she breaks adrift from the towing steamer, she may not be helpless at sea. Nearly all of the schooner barges before 1890 were square-rigged vessels or schooners which had outlived their usefulness as such and were dismantled and converted into barges. Shortly before 1890, and to a considerable extent since, such schooner barges have been specially constructed, some of them with steel hulls. The practice of cutting down square-rigged vessels and schooners into barges still continues.”…" – "Transportation by Water," United States Bureau of the Census, William Mott Steuart, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1908, p. 10.
