Description: In 1904, to mark the 300th anniversary of ChamplainÔs discovery of MDI, the Seal Harbor Village Improvement Society placed a monument honoring Champlain on Sea Cliff Drive. It was relocated in the 1970s to an obscure Seal Harbor ledge abutting Acadia National Park, where it now overlooks Route 3. Postcard featuring a drawing of the Champlain Monument in Seal Harbor, ME.

Description: The large cottage in the background is "Wild Cliff" at Seal Harbor designed and built for Alexander MacKay-Smith (1850-1911) by Charles A. Candage (1851-1912), a local builder, in 1901-1902. Bishop MacKay-Smith was head of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania. He donated the “Morning Star” to the Maine Seacoast Mission as their second mission boat.
Description: According to Earl Brechlin, the location of the cabins appears to be just east of Little Harbor Brook between Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The view is looking towards the southwest from the hill on the north side of Route 3. If you zoom in above the place you can just make out the bridge over the stream which is tidal at that point. The little island fits with topos of the area. There's a large estate there now. The back of the card indicates that the cabins were owned by Arthur and Evelyn Gibbs. [show more]
