|  Black Pearl (Rhodes 19) Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: Paul Stubing said this is a photograph of a Rhodes 19 sailboat named "Black Pearl".

Ralph Stanley said the scow by the lookout for Beal's had a house on it which is where Lawrence Newman stored his salt pollock. They would sell the pollock to the stores in town. [show more] | |||
