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". This photo appears to have been taken from the Manset shore because the cape on Greenings Island is in the background. The Rhodes 19 has her sails up and she is alongside a float. Her sail # is 1012. There is a whaler tied to the head of the float and there are several rowboats overturned on the float. Moving towards the foreground, you see two bullseyes tied to the float. Each bullseye has its sails on but lowered. There is a male standing in the stern of one, looking at the Rhodes. This docking area seems to be what is now called Manset Yacht Service, formerly known as The Boathouse. Hinckley's dock is in the background. [show more]

Fishing Boats Tied Up At Beal's Wharf
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
Paul Stubing said Ballard used a telephoto lense on a 4x5 Kodak and added he didn't use telephoto again. The schooner "Rhode Island" is closest to Beal's. Then there are at least 13 large fishing boats, sardine carriers, tied up to the floats and/or rafted together. There is some type of harbor buoy in the foreground which looks like a "bell" buoy. In the background there are wharves and docks. 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]

  • Ballard, W.H.
  • 1955c.

Paul Stubing indicated that the Beached Boat group in this series (104-109) was a "big club" and you were only accepted into it after a period of time or born into it. This picture shows one of the beached boats with ten men standing on her port side. The Addison Packing Plant (sardine factory) is in the background. In an interview with Ralph Stanley, he told A.

Boats Beached in a Southwest Harbor Cove
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
Paul Stubing indicated that this begins a series of six pictures depicting boats up on the shore in a Southwest Harbor cove. This looks like the cove at the head of the harbor by the Western Way condominiums. There is part of a house visible in the upper right hand corner. Another house is seen in the woods above the stabilizing stern sail in the second boat from the left of the photograph. There are seven vessels beached for cleaning. Two people are visible working on the hull of the first boat from the left. There is a punt beached off the bow of the same vessel. There is another man visible walking towards the bow of the fourth vessel from the left. Ralph Stanley indicated in an interview with A. L. Welles that hull # 1L148 belonged to Carleton Gilley and was built by Paul Patton in Ellsworth. Charles Gilley owned and worked for Mrs. Lyman on Sutton's. He believes the punt is a Farley punt. Hull #1M551 (third boat from the left) is the first boat Ralph Stanley built (1951) and it was this boat that was owned by Charles Gilley. [show more]

Bass Harbor After 1950
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
Paul Stubing indicated that this picture is of Bass Harbor after 1950 because the water towers in the background were wooden prior to that date and the metal on these towers looks new. The photo is taken from the Bernard side of the harbor. There are five punts tied to a float in the foreground. There are two men on the float. There are several lobsterboats in the harbor and one is tied to the float.
