| Cousin's Yard in East Blue Hill Mount Desert Island Historical Society |
|
|  Cousin's Yard in East Blue Hill Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: Paul Stubing indicated that this is a photograph of Cousin's Yard in East Blue Hill Bay. There is a smelt tent in the background which had been pulled ashore. This type of tent was used in winter for ice fishing. Fish were put in box outside the tent. The custom died out in 1950's as pay for smelt wasn't sufficient. Stubing went on to explain about the saltwater and freshwater smelt tents. He said they used grain bags to cover a 1 -1/12 inch frame. There were runners underneath and a trap door. There was also a limber pole to hold line - the line dropped through. They had at least two pairs of woolen gloves. A blacksmith would use scrap metal to make a stove (square or round). A chimney would go up through the roof. They would make the chimney as high as possible. Ralph said the same boat which is hauled out is the one pictured in the Winter Harbor photos. Ralph says this may not be the Cousin's Yard. He'd have to go over there and look. [show more] | ||||

|
|  Gloucester Draggers in Southwest Harbor Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: This photo shows the Gloucester draggers in Southwest Harbor - perhaps to avoid weather. The boats seem to be tied up to the Stanley Fish Wharf on the Manset side of the harbor looking towards Greenings Island.

The motorboat in the foreground, the double-ender, was owned by J.L. Stanley Fisheries. She was built on Cranberry Islands. The wharf in the foreground was originally built by Horace Durgin around 1850. Some of this structure is now part of the Madeira (Tyson) dock. Harold Tyson had the house built (not seen in this picture). This house was designed by Gilchrist who had also designed the Ellsworth City Hall in 1933. [show more] | ||||

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] | |||
