|  Letter with details of voyage on the Schooner Willow Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Scan of a two-page 1860 letter from Warren Bunker to his brother-in-law Daniel Hamor with details of Bunker's voyage on the Schooner Willow from 'home' to Baltimore, Savannah, Jacksonville, Nassau, mentioning his cargo of 'old sailors' and yellow pine, the money he has made and hopes to make, and plans for future voyages mentioning Mauricetown NJ and Machiasport possibilities. (See transcription of letter.) We believe 'old sailors' means experienced sailors or sailors who had hired out on another voyage and were trying to get home. Warren Bunker (born 1824, died 1870 at Cranberry Isles) was great-great-grandfather of Great Cranberry Island resident Phil Whitney. Daniel Hamor (born 1822, died 1894) is distantly connected to the donor's family. Background information from donor: Warren Bunker wrote the letter to his brother-in-law Daniel Hamor, Warren's wife's (Sidney Hamor Bunker's) brother, who was then living in Eden (now Bar Harbor), Maine. Daniel Hamor built a fairly large house that still stands (in 2015 painted yellow, with a barn in back), next to the Pot & Kettle Club entrance on what is now Route 3 between Salisbury Cove and Hulls Cove. When Daniel Hamor and his wife Polly died, in 1894, their house was left to their children, Ella, Edward and Mariah, none of whom ever married or had children as far as we know. Ella and Edward died (on the same night in 1928, probably of influenza), leaving the house to Mariah. When Mariah grew old, she invited her cousin Georgia Hamor to come and take care of her on condition that when she (Mariah) died, the house would become Georgia's. Mariah died in 1936. At that time Georgia Hamor inherited the Hamor home, and presumably the Warren Bunker letter. Georgia and her brother, Ansel, lived in the house until they died (Georgia in 1971 and Ansel in 1978). At some point, Georgia, who had inherited various Hamor mementos with the house, gave the letter to her niece, Alice Smith Cowles. She, in turn, gave the letter to me (Alan Cowles). "We almost lost the letter in the great fire of 1947. A note from the Boston Sunday Post, published in October 1947, stated that "Miss Georgia Hamor, a native spinster, and her brother, Ansel, were the last to leave their home in the Hulls Cove section before the inrush of the flames today, and left only because town officials insisted on the evacuation." Fortunately, the fire stopped about one mile from their home." See transcript. [show more] | |

| Rebecca R. Douglas - Schooner Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: Coasting Schooner “Rebecca R. Douglas” had a raised deck for carrying kiln dried lumber, and later coconuts, for the Baker Extract Company of Philadelphia. The vessel was built for Edwin DeForest Douglas (1845-1911), a packing box manufacturer from Philadelphia, and named for his second wife, Rebecca Rhodes (Ruedi) Douglas (1865-). The schooner was said to be a beautiful, a fine sailor and an easy ship to handle. "May 2, 1943 - Coastal yacht “Alabaster” (Pyc21), directed to the scene by blimp K4, rescues two survivors from the U.S. schooner “Rebecca R. Douglas,” which had gone down on 28 April while on route from New York to Brazil, at 38º17’N, 71º46’W [off of Cape May]. Coast Guard lighthouse tender “Laurel” (WAGL 291) finds only an overturned lifeboat. Remainder of search proves negative." - "The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II" by Robert Cressman, Naval Institute Press, 2000, p. 158. The marine chronometer from the vessel was removed from the ship before the ship sunk and is still preserved and in working condition. There was likely a second chronometer that was used on the ship for its last trip before sinking. The chronometer that has survived was made by Thomas Porthouse, ca. 1850 in London. When it was assigned to the Rebecca R. Douglas it was already close to a century old, and yet its accuracy could still be certified for ongoing service at sea.
