Old Coast Guard Station in Southwest Harbor
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
This is a photo of the "Old Coast Guard" station in Southwest Harbor which Stubing said was replaced in the mid-forties because the "Baby Rose" is in the background and she was brought back and refitted as a dragger. (Grounded out at town dock. ) The vessel "Sylvina Beal" is in the foreground with its war time # still on board. This dragger was built by a Southwest Habor boatyard. Ralph Stanley said... The boat at the town dock ( only half visible) on the far left is the "Rosemary" of Greenings Island which was owned by the Thorpe estate. Old Raymond Reed worked for them. The boat at Beal's dock, Sylvina W. Beal, is now in Eastport rigged as a schooner taking people on sailing trips. The Coast Guard boat at the far right is a 38 ft. pickett boat. Many of these were built at Hinckley's during World War II. The boat at Beal's float (on the outside) belonged to Clifford Stanley. The other two boats, Ralph couldn't identify. [show more]

Rhode Island Fishing Dragger
Mount Desert Island Historical Society
Description:
Rhode Island sardine carrier finished off at Southwest Boat Corporation. Its name is a question. Looking at the photo, the words Rhode Island appear on the stern of the vessel on the right. In the interview with Paul Stubing, he commented that Southwest Boat Corporation built a lot of draggers and referred to this boat as a dragger, as well as " Bonaventure". The vessel Graylin(g?) is also in the photo and the picture seems to have been taken from Beal's Wharf. Ralph Stanley indicated that the boat on left side of picture tied up to the float was built by Bob Rich. The other boat at this dock is a Cranberry Island boat. The "U & I" is in the background by the mast of that outside sardine boat. The little lobster boat in that same neighborhood was owned by Perry Lawson and went ashore and "stove up" shortly after that. The boat at the town dock (the middle float) was built by Rich Brothers (Frank and Ulysses). Tud Bunker was the Captain. [show more]
