|  Collection of photographs recording the arrival of the International One Design sailboats Northeast Harbor Fleet Description: Collection of 27 photographs, accompanied by two letters and a manila envelope. The photographs document the arrival of the freighter Toronto in the Great Harbor, and the subsequent launching of the International One Design (International Class) sailboats in May 1938. These photographs were likely taken by Robert E. Peabody, of Peabody & Lane, the shipping firm that served as the American agents for the Toronto (the freighter that delivered the boats). Most of these photographs are printed on matte paper with a slightly pebbled texture, but some are glossy and appear to be copy prints made from the negatives used for the matte photographs. A full inventory of this collection follows: 2023.02.001 - Manila envelope used by Minot K. Milliken to send the photographs to Fred Towers, postmarked January 31, 1985 2023.02.002 - Letter from Minot K. Milliken to Fred Towers, dated January 30, 1985 2023.02.003 - Letter from Cora Peabody Emlen to Minot Milliken, dated January 23, 1985 that accompanied the photographs when they were sent to Milliken. Emlen mentions these photographs had been "Bob Peabody's possessions" and that "His shipping firm of Peabody + Lane were the agents for the Norwegian freighter that brought over the boats..." She adds: "I hope these will add to some nostalgic collection - if not yet historic - and will be enjoyed by some owners of these boats." [Note: both Milliken and Emlen mention the Western Way, but the photographs show the Toronto coming through the Eastern Way.] 2023.02.004 - Freighter Toronto off Seal Harbor, evergreen tree to right 2023.02.004a [not photographed] - glossy copy of .004 2023.02.005 - similar to .004 except freighter is closer to shore, and more of the rocks are visible 2023.02.005a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .005 2023.02.006 - similar to .004, lots of tree to right of photograph, little of rock visible to the left 2023.02.006a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .006 2023.02.007 - Freighter Toronto with East Bunker Ledge beyond, photograph is slightly unfocused 2023.02.007a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .007 2023.02.008 - Freighter Toronto with East Bunker Ledge in background and day marker visible. 2023.02.008a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .008 2023.02.009 - Freighter Toronto passing East Bunker Ledge 2023.02.010 - Freighter Toronto at anchor, powerboats visible in the foreground - photograph is slightly out of focus 2023.02.010a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .010 2023.02.011 - Photograph taken on board Toronto, with covered sailboats visible in the foreground 2023.02.012 - International One Design sailboat being lifted out of hold of freighter Toronto 2023.02.012a - [not photographed] glossy copy of .012 2023.02.013 - International One Design sailboat being lifted out of the hold, at a very steep angle.
