|  Glass Plate Negative, Mount Desert Rock Great Harbor Maritime Museum Description: A Gloucester fishing schooner sails not far from Mount Desert Rock under partial sail. A number of people are visible on the deck, and a stack of dories can be seen between the masts. A large flag has the name of the vessel, which appears to be two words, though only Frances P. M______ is visible. William H. Bunting has (July 2021) identified this schooner as the Frances P. Mesquita, of Gloucester. Built in Gloucester in 1905, she was owned and commanded by Capt. Joseph Mesquita, and was both a successful fishing and racing vessel. She was sold in 1918 to owners from Newfoundland, and sunk by a U-boat that year. The envelope with this negative reads: No. 7 f., Tower, Single Tenement + Double Tenement, Looking N.W." and is likely an envelope reused from another negative. [show more] | ||

|  Scans of slides from Charles 'Chip' Sheppard 1940s-1950s Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Photographs. Digital copies of 41 color slides made in April 2015. They were loaned to Phil Whitney by Charles 'Chip' Sheppard following Phil Whitney's interview of him in Pennsylvania December 2014. Some slides are undated and some noted in ballpoint pen as years: 1947, 1948, 1950 and 1952. An e-mail from Melen Boothby identified Slide 296, taken in August of 1950, as "shot from my grandparents' house near Thrumcap and shows the wreck of a Canadian lumber schooner that ran aground during a storm in the '30s. Apparently people on the island were told to help themselves to the lumber as the ship wasn't going anywhere!" (Not sure if this means 1830s or 1930s?) Slides were scanned and returned to donor. Scenery, family and friends: Carl and Winston Sheppard's boat Kiri III, a B class Boat (slide 379); Emerson Ham (slide 38); fishing weir (slide 386); fishing, picnic, old cars, docks, and a blue lobster.
