| Scans of seven large-format slides by Michael Macfarlan 1955 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |
|
|
|  Scans of seven large-format slides by Michael Macfarlan 1955 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photographs. Scans of seven large-format color slides taken by Michael Macfarlan in 1955. Two (F-G) are of the Lewis Stanley boathouses on GCI. Five are of the 1,000 lb. Carcharodon carcharias "man-eater" shark harpooned by Capt. Lyndon "Tud" Bunker and John L. Saltonstall aboard his 32-foot cabin cruiser, Thetis, in August of 1955. According to newspaper articles (see items 1000.28.400-406), the shark rammed a hole below the waterline about three feet from the bow, forcing the Captain to land the boat on Bakers Island where Macfarlan took these photos. The shark was shot and killed by a boat coming to their rescue. The shark was identified by one of its teeth by Henry B. Bigelow of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College in September 1955. The photographs show John Saltonstall in blue jacket and white cap with Tud Bunker (tan pants) and Dorothy Macfarlan (photographer's mother) in white with white hat on Bakers Island with the boat and the shark.

| Trailboard from sloop; Stanley cemetery post; powder horn Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |
|
|
|  Trailboard from sloop; Stanley cemetery post; powder horn Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Collection of three items. (A) Trailboard from a Friendship sloop. Letters visible: “BUILDER FRIENDSHIP, ME” on one side, and “WILBUR A. MORSE, BUILDER” on the other side. Carved with leaves and wavy line on both sides. Donor believes this could be the trailboard from one of Peter Richardson’s Friendship sloops. Richardson kept five Friendship sloops where Heliker LaHotan now stands (the old Stanley boatyard).(Trailboards are a pair of decorative boards at the bow of a sailboat, running from the figurehead back towards the hawsepipe.) (Measurements: 35"L x 6"H x 8.5"W) Note: On 10/14/16 Captain, historian, and boat builder Ralph Stanley visited GCIHS and commented on the trailboard. Ralph explained that donor's Friendship sloop, Old Baldy, was bought from its original owner; Kathy Newman owns it now. Jarvis Newman restored it. Stanley believes that the sloop that the trailboard came from was Little Flirt. (Apparently, the intended name was Alert, but William Doane Stanley had also named his boat Alert.) Eventually, Little Flirt had Sweet Pea painted on her stern. Whoever gave Lou Alert’s trailboard, likely found it in the field by Lewis Stanley’s boat yard (Ralph Stanley’s Uncle Lew) after the boat was destroyed and the ruins put in the field. He believes a full trailboard would have included the date made, 1904, and would have had an eagle’s head on the end. Ralph will check and see if Kathe Walton has the head. (B) Stanley cemetery wooden post. A broken post with carved top intact for exhibit purposes and for use as a model for new fence posts for the 2014 restored Stanley cemetery. (There are several more broken fence posts currently at the cemetery.) (Measurements: 41"L x 6" Diameter) (C) Powder horn from donor's family. Lovely, plain, unornamented horn which Donor used with her muzzle loading rifles and as a prop in a play. Has string attached by screw; two drilled holes; hollow. It was probably acquired in Ohio. No direct connection to GCI other than Lou Millar's use in her long and interesting life and it’s a neat artifact. (Measurements: 14.5"L x 3.5"H x 3"W) [show more] | |||
