Sailboat Race in Somes Sound Near Northeast Harbor Mount Desert Island Historical Society	Image, Photograph, Black-and-White Photograph			08/03/2010	Sailboat Race in Somes Sound Near Northeast Harbor Mount Desert Island Historical Society Identifier: mdihs-8646 Type: Image, Photograph, Black-and-White Photograph Date: 08/03/2010 Description: This is a 6 by 10 inch black and white photograph mounted on a gray cardboard. It appears to be a duplicate of object #001-71.1. The backside is labeled as in #001-71.1. That is "race, Somes Sonnel, Northeast Harbor". Again, the mountains of Mount Desert Island are in the background but it is questionable as to whether the race is on Somes Sound. (ALW) The photo is faded and cloudy but does not have the green spots on the left as #001-71.1 does. [show more]
Sailboat Race in Somes Sound near Northeast Harbor Mount Desert Island Historical Society	Image, Photograph, Black-and-White Photograph			08/03/2010	Sailboat Race in Somes Sound near Northeast Harbor Mount Desert Island Historical Society Identifier: mdihs-5162 Type: Image, Photograph, Black-and-White Photograph Date: 08/03/2010 Description: This is an 8 by 12 inch, black and white photograph mounted on white board. On the backside, it is labeled in ink as "race, Somes Sonnel, Northeast Harbor". The photograph definitely has the mountains of Mount Desert Island in the background, but I question whether it is Somes Sound which I think is what the person who wrote the label intended to write. (ALW) There are 10 gaff-rigged sailboats racing. The race committee boat can be seen in the background, off to the right side of the photo. This is in poor condition because it appears faded and has green spots on the left side of the photo. [show more]
