|  Wilfred Bunker and Clarence Beal aboard the Silas McClune Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photo, b&w snapshot, Wilfred Bunker (looking up) and Clarence Beal on board their lobster smack, Silas McClune. Per Ralph Stanley August 2016: The Silas McClune was built for the A. C. McClune Co. in Rockland. They were lobster dealers. Beal & Bunker bought the boat in the 1950s. They had the wet wells plugged and used it as a freight boat. They caught hake fish at GCI and took it to Vinalhaven for sale. Buster Rice was the captain. Beal & Bunker sold the boat to Arnold Allen who had a seining outfit. Ralph believes the boat went ashore and might be beneath the sewer plant in Southwest Harbor. (See also 2018.416.2824C.)

|
|  Scans of slides from Charles 'Chip' Sheppard 1940s-1950s Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photographs. Digital copies of 41 color slides made in April 2015. They were loaned to Phil Whitney by Charles 'Chip' Sheppard following Phil Whitney's interview of him in Pennsylvania December 2014. Some slides are undated and some noted in ballpoint pen as years: 1947, 1948, 1950 and 1952. An e-mail from Melen Boothby identified Slide 296, taken in August of 1950, as "shot from my grandparents' house near Thrumcap and shows the wreck of a Canadian lumber schooner that ran aground during a storm in the '30s. Apparently people on the island were told to help themselves to the lumber as the ship wasn't going anywhere!" (Not sure if this means 1830s or 1930s?) Slides were scanned and returned to donor. Scenery, family and friends: Carl and Winston Sheppard's boat Kiri III, a B class Boat (slide 379); Emerson Ham (slide 38); fishing weir (slide 386); fishing, picnic, old cars, docks, and a blue lobster.

| 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.
