Description:
The notation on the back of this photograph is "Schooner George Klink at Clark Point, Southwest Harbor, Maine for overhauling." Off the starboard side of the schooner is a rig for unloading coal to travel down a chute to the old J.N Mills' coal wharf building which had plumbed walls. In an interview with Ralph Stanley he said that this schooner was built in Mystic, CT. in 1902. Bing Sargeant (and others ??) bought her. She was laid up in Rockland, Boothbay area about 1940-41 and took her south with lumber and hit a storm off Cape Hattaras and broke up. Parts of the vessel were scattered everywhere. The Air Craft carrier WASP rescued the crew. The Captain was Lewis McFarland from Trenton, ME. While she was being repaired, many artists came to paint her. The boat second from the right was probably from Cranberry Islands. The boat to the right of that boat is Pansy R. owned by Cliff Robbins (Harbor Master) built on Cranberry by Les Rice. She's a double-ender with a mast rig to tend moorings. The walkway to the rig behind the Klink is to offload coal. [show more]

Description:
This is 1946 or later because the wartime number is covered on the port side of the vessel which is tied up along side the town dock in Southwest Harbor closest to Beal's Wharf . There are several workmen visible onboard doing various jobs. Behind this vessel are two others tied up to the floats. One has a canvas spray hood and is numbered 1-B-731 and the other is a more traditional looking boat in the lobstering style but could be outfitted as a personal launch since it is difficult to see the usual rigging for lobstering. Its number is 1-D-492, the "Rosemary" from Greenings Island. Ralph Stanley said that 1-B-731 was owned by Ralph's great uncle who also owned the house Ralph lives in on Clark Point Road. The dragger is the "Baby Rose" and was built at Thomaston. The Coast Guard took her during the War so they had the "Mary Rose" built at Southwest Harbor Boat to replace her. [show more]

Description:
Paul Stubing indicated that the Sunbeam #2 or #3 is in the foreground of this picture. In the background two other vessels are rafted together at a series of three floats. The names on these latter vessels are the "Elva Beal" hailing from Southwest Harbor and the Elin B. with her war numbers - 243314- visible on her port bow. The conditions appear foggy. Ralph Stanley indicated that the Elva L. Beal was built for Harvard Beal at Southwest Boat in 1945. Ralph believes the Elin B. was built in Stonington. Billings Yard built a number of vessels for the Army during WWII. They were called T Boats and were probably used for patrol. The Elin B. was built off the same mold as the T Boats. [show more]

Description:
Paul Stubing indicated that this was a wartime photo. The war numbers are visible on the vessel hulls. On the right of the picture is the Southwest Boat Corporation's pile driver. The "Rosemarie" with a War # of 4A170 is tied next to the peapod. The "Rosemarie" came from Provincetown and Ralph Stanley thinks that Bill Sklaroff, owner of Stanley Fisheries, might have been part owner. SW Boat did quite a lot of work on the "Rosemarie". Ralph said the double-ender (along side the "Rosemarie") did not belong to Jarvis's father. It belonged to Cliff Robbins. Over the top of the "Sea Fox", you can see the dragger "U & I". The boat farthest away with the wartime numbers in white is the "Dorothy and Edith" built by Farnham Butler, Mt. Desert Yacht Yard, in the 1940's. Derby Stanley and his family had this boat built. He had been a rum runner too. Derby's son Warren and Ralph Ramsdell were overcome by coal gas and died on that boat in Frenchboro. Ralph Stanley said the "Sea Fox" was built at Southwest Boat for a man in Provincetown who had come from Portugal. He was known to be a liquor smuggler. There has been a book written about him. She hailed from Provincetown. The owner eventually returned to Portugal. In back of the pile driver, is a Nova Scotian dragger. Ralph thinks Bill Howell may have owned her before he owned the "Rhode Island". [show more]

Description:
This is a photo of the "Mary Rose". The Rose family had both "Judith Lee Rose" and "Mary Rose" built. There is ice around the hull and out into the harbor. There is an American Amoco gas sign at the top center of the picture. "Mary Rose" was built at Southwest Boat in 1943. Sargeant took the "Bonaventure" to build at $60,000 and it cost him $90,000. He lost money on the "Mary Rose" too. Ralph Stanley said Sargeant lost money on most of the boats he built. His sister bailed him out a few times. Finally the First National Bank took over the running of SWBoat. They tried to oversee the financial part of it. Eventually, John Briggs's father bought it. When he died, John Briggs (a New York publisher) ran it for a while. [show more]

Description:
This photo is of Sardine Carriers from a stern view so the names are identifiable. Working from right to left the names are Helen McColl, Surfman, A.T. Haynes. Paul Stubing said the A.T. Haynes was a former schooner made into a supply boat carrying barrels, oil and coal. Ralph Stanley said the A.T. Haynes was used as a freighter carrying cans and supplies to the canneries. The Surfman was owned by the Addison Packing Co. of Southwest Harbor. The A.T.Haynes was built in Manset about 1869. Eventually she was hauled up between the coal wharf and town dock. She stayed there quite awhile until a group of fisherman bought her. They built a house, a rough shed, to store their bait in. Then she was sold to fishermen in Bass Harbor and used for the same purpose. She eventually was hauled out in a little cove by Crockett Point and probably parts of her are still there. [show more]
