Freight Bill from the Sidewheel Steamer Rockland Southwest Harbor Public Library	Document, Financial, Receipt	Vessels, Steamboat		1853-11-02	Southwest Harbor	Copyright Not Evaluated	Freight Bill from the Sidewheel Steamer Rockland Southwest Harbor Public Library Identifier: swhpl-10196 Type: Document, Financial, Receipt Subject: Vessels, Steamboat Date: 1853-11-02 Place: Southwest Harbor Description: A freight bill for 3 casks of lime for Capt. James Long (1814-1895) signed by Jo. R. Freeman [John T.R. Freeman (1838-1916)] and paid at Mt. Desert on November 2, 1853. As can be seen from the account below, "Rockland" was supposed to have been built in 1853 and to have gone into service in 1854, but this bill of lading clearly shows that she was working in the Mt. Desert area as early as November 1853. She may have gone on the water in 1853 and done some freight work in the area before she started her career on the passenger route in 1854. The 1857 date may just be an error. [show more]

Entrance of Somes Sound from Southwest Harbor Southwest Harbor Public Library	Image, Art, Painting	Places, Harbor Places, Sound Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner	Lane - Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865)	1852	Southwest Harbor	Copyright Not Evaluated	Entrance of Somes Sound from Southwest Harbor Southwest Harbor Public Library Identifier: swhpl-12637 Type: Image, Art, Painting Subject: Places, Harbor Places, Sound Vessels, Ship, Sailing Ship, Schooner Creator: Lane - Fitz Henry Lane (1804-1865) Date: 1852 Place: Southwest Harbor Description: Fitz Henry Lane painted one of the earliest views of Southwest Harbor, and seems to have studied the shore carefully. The view shows a lumber schooner loading its long cargo through a port in the bow of the vessel. The white house immediately to the left of the vessel probably shows an early version of the Seth Higgins Clark House. The white house at the center of the shore is the Nathan Clark II House. The white building at the far left is Deacon Henry Higgins Clark's Island House Hotel, early in its career, before it was expanded into several stories with a mansard roof. Clark descendants, and their houses, are still in Southwest Harbor. William Howe Witherle (1821–1906) accompanied Lane on his trip around Mount Desert Island and recorded many of their adventures in his diary. On August 21 he wrote, "… George, Joe & myself took breakfast this morning at the Island House – and a fine one it was – price 25 cts – Mr. Lane took 2 sketches here…” The sketches referred to were of the shore and harbor, not the hotel.
