Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Navigation Chart of Norway probably belonging to Sam Hadlock, Jr., with a faint, barely legible handwritten annotation in center. [Best guess at written note: "Fren Cape, Nsor 8am, point 21+ NorW, from Stan point, to Cape Jack(?) 21+, N(illegible symbols), Way-and give Sun, Point 1/2 mile -, From Cape Jack(?), to Cape George or, Cape Laieu(?) NW (and then some illegible letters)". A note attributed to "The Maine Islands in Story and Legend" by Dorothy Simpson says: "Capt. Samuel Hadlock in 1807, during Napoleonic wars, took load of fish to Spain, with good profit and returned with load of salt and lemons. He built a store on Little Cranberry. He built ships too, captained by his five sons. His third son was Samuel who lived on Great Cranberry....". Samuel Hadlock, Jr., built the 1826 house that became the Preble House. Samuel Hadlock, Jr.'s adventures were subject of Rachel Field's book, "God's Pocket" [show more]

Nautical Chart of Ireland with annotations
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Nautical chart of Ireland, believed to be a chart Samuel Hadlock, Jr. used for his voyages to Europe while touring with Eskimos and sled dogs in 1820s. Chart appears to be a section of a larger chart. A note on reverse (probably by Douglas Macfarlan (donor's father)) states: "This old navigation map was found in a sea chest in the Preble House, Cranberry Isl. Maine in 1947." Samuel Hadlock built what became known as the Preble House for the woman he married while on his European tour. Zoom in to see various annotations on the chart. Many nun-buoys are marked in brownish/yellow, and there are several pencil annotations made along the coastline. This chart was scanned at Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) in 2016. A framed print of the full size NEDCC scan hangs in the Macfarlan/Preble house. And see God's Pocket: The Story of Captain Samuel Hadlock, Jr. of Cranberry Isles, Maine (Macmillan 1934, 1936, 1999) and "Hugh Dwelley's Beyond God's Pocket". [show more]
