Hawksbill Sea Turtle - Eretmochelys imbricata Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Object, Other Object	Nature, Animals		Cranberry Isles	Copyright Not Evaluated	Hawksbill Sea Turtle - Eretmochelys imbricata Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2023.648.3138 Type: Object, Other Object Subject: Nature, Animals Place: Cranberry Isles Description: On loan from Phil Whitney. This turtle shell, according to Whitney family legend, is suspected to be from an 1825 whaling expedition to the South Pacific. It was kept in the family home until 1928, when the Spurling house burned down, and was rescued from the flames by islanders trying to salvage their possessions. The shell is that of a Hawksbill sea turtle, larger than most found today, and you may notice an indentation on the left side. Turtles are adept at recovering from injuries but they can’t grow back bone, so this is likely an injury sustained from when this turtle was far smaller. [show more]
Shell Midden Remains and Photographs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Object, Other Object	Nature, Animals		Cranberry Isles	No Known Copyright	Shell Midden Remains and Photographs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2022.617.3109 Type: Object, Other Object Subject: Nature, Animals Place: Cranberry Isles Description: A collection of shells and photographs taken from the Shell Midden on Fish Point. Some of the shells have holes in them, which may have been created by the indigenous people who hunted for them. Dating through the shell middens and other archeological remains, we know people have used this coastline and its plentiful marine resources for thousands of years. The Cranberries themselves were used by the indigenous peoples here, evidenced by the remains of a shell midden on Fish point (at the hook of the island) which isn’t accessible to the public. Shell middens are often referred to as trash heaps and they contain oyster, clam, and shellfish remains, along with ‘faunal remains’ which refers to the mammal, fish, bird, reptile bones and teeth that are found. A minor portion of the middens are often stone tools or their fragments, and pieces of ceramic pottery. Shellfish middens are phenomenal records of the lives lived in proximity to the coast, and they are often found in sheltered coves and bays, near small mudflats, and tidal/inland streams. They tell us which seasons people were occupying areas, their preference for sheltered areas with easy access to the ocean (for their canoes) and plentiful marine resources, such as shellfish flats, and spring runs of migratory fish. They are extraordinary records which are disappearing rapidly due to rising oceans. [show more]

Scans of seven large-format slides by Michael Macfarlan 1955 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Image, Photograph	Nature, Animals People Vessels, Boat			Copyright Not Evaluated	Scans of seven large-format slides by Michael Macfarlan 1955 Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2016.345.2111 Type: Image, Photograph Subject: Nature, Animals People Vessels, Boat Description: Photographs. Scans of seven large-format color slides taken by Michael Macfarlan in 1955. Two (F-G) are of the Lewis Stanley boathouses on GCI. Five are of the 1,000 lb. Carcharodon carcharias "man-eater" shark harpooned by Capt. Lyndon "Tud" Bunker and John L. Saltonstall aboard his 32-foot cabin cruiser, Thetis, in August of 1955. According to newspaper articles (see items 1000.28.400-406), the shark rammed a hole below the waterline about three feet from the bow, forcing the Captain to land the boat on Bakers Island where Macfarlan took these photos. The shark was shot and killed by a boat coming to their rescue. The shark was identified by one of its teeth by Henry B. Bigelow of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College in September 1955. The photographs show John Saltonstall in blue jacket and white cap with Tud Bunker (tan pants) and Dorothy Macfarlan (photographer's mother) in white with white hat on Bakers Island with the boat and the shark.
