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.

|  Mary Rose Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: This is a photo of the "Mary Rose". The Rose family had both "Judith Lee Rose" and "Mary Rose" built. There is ice around the hull and out into the harbor. There is an American Amoco gas sign at the top center of the picture. "Mary Rose" was built at Southwest Boat in 1943. Sargeant took the "Bonaventure" to build at $60,000 and it cost him $90,000. He lost money on the "Mary Rose" too. Ralph Stanley said Sargeant lost money on most of the boats he built. His sister bailed him out a few times. Finally the First National Bank took over the running of SWBoat. They tried to oversee the financial part of it. Eventually, John Briggs's father bought it. When he died, John Briggs (a New York publisher) ran it for a while. [show more] | |||

|  Sardine carriers Mount Desert Island Historical Society Description: This photo is of Sardine Carriers from a stern view so the names are identifiable. Working from right to left the names are Helen McColl, Surfman, A.T. Haynes. Paul Stubing said the A.T. Haynes was a former schooner made into a supply boat carrying barrels, oil and coal. Ralph Stanley said the A.T. Haynes was used as a freighter carrying cans and supplies to the canneries. The Surfman was owned by the Addison Packing Co. of Southwest Harbor. The A.T.Haynes was built in Manset about 1869. Eventually she was hauled up between the coal wharf and town dock. She stayed there quite awhile until a group of fisherman bought her. They built a house, a rough shed, to store their bait in. Then she was sold to fishermen in Bass Harbor and used for the same purpose. She eventually was hauled out in a little cove by Crockett Point and probably parts of her are still there. [show more] | |||
