The Air Craft carrier WASP rescued the crew. The Captain was Lewis McFarland from Trenton, ME. While she was being repaired, many artists came to paint her.

| Jarvis Newman's father's peapod and dragger built by Sim Davis Mount Desert Island Historical Society |

|  Jarvis Newman's father's peapod and dragger built by Sim Davis Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: Paul Stubing indicated that this was a wartime photo. The war numbers are visible on the vessel hulls. On the right of the picture is the Southwest Boat Corporation's pile driver. The "Rosemarie" with a War # of 4A170 is tied next to the peapod. The "Rosemarie" came from Provincetown and Ralph Stanley thinks that Bill Sklaroff, owner of Stanley Fisheries, might have been part owner. SW Boat did quite a lot of work on the "Rosemarie". Ralph said the double-ender (along side the "Rosemarie") did not belong to Jarvis's father. It belonged to Cliff Robbins. Over the top of the "Sea Fox", you can see the dragger "U & I". The boat farthest away with the wartime numbers in white is the "Dorothy and Edith" built by Farnham Butler, Mt. Desert Yacht Yard, in the 1940's. Derby Stanley and his family had this boat built. He had been a rum runner too. Derby's son Warren and Ralph Ramsdell were overcome by coal gas and died on that boat in Frenchboro. Ralph Stanley said the "Sea Fox" was built at Southwest Boat for a man in Provincetown who had come from Portugal. He was known to be a liquor smuggler. There has been a book written about him. She hailed from Provincetown. The owner eventually returned to Portugal. In back of the pile driver, is a Nova Scotian dragger. Ralph thinks Bill Howell may have owned her before he owned the "Rhode Island". [show more] | |||

"Baby Rose" is tied up alongside the "lower town dock". Two lobster boats are tied up to the floats off Sylvina's bow. According to John D. Gilman's , "Masts and Masters - a brief history of Sardine Carriers and Boatmen", the "Sylvina Beal" was built in 1911 at East Boothbay for Charles Henry Beal of Jonesport, Maine, to be used as a banks fishing schooner and later used as a lobster freighter from Nova Scotia to Boston. She was 71 feet 7 inches in length. In 1917, she was bought by the Seacoast Co. and converted to a sardine carrier and repowered with a 100-horsepower Chrysler gasoline motor. In 1926, she was repowered with a straight eight Chrysler marine engine and a wheel house was added to her in East Boothbay under Peacock and Pike ownership. In 1929, she was bought by R.J. Peacock Canning Co. for $5,000. When the R.J.Peacock Canning Co. closed, she was sent to Southwest Harbor to "die". Eventually, the Beal was sold to Captain John Worth of Belfast in 1980 to be reconverted to her "original form" and used as a windjammer in the coastal schooner trade. After an idle season in 1989, she was sold to Captain Geoffrey Jones who sails her out of Greenport, Long Island, N. Y. [show more] | |||
