View of McKinley From Thurston's Wharf

Paul Stubing says this is a view of McKinley from Bernard.
The caption on the back reads," Bass Harbor from Thurston's Wharf, Bernard, Me.

The old wooden water tower is in view in the background. There are several lobster boats riding at anchor in the harbor. In the bottom right of the photo are five punts tied up to a float. There are four wooden lobster crates piled on each other. Each crate has rope handles.

Ralph Stanley said the boat second from the left with a spray hood and shelter and the traps on the following deck belonged to Merton Alley at that time. It was built by Chester Clement for Francis Fernald on Islesford. Ralph couldn't identify any other of the boats. Possibly Arlene Bartlett could identify some of the other boats in the pictures. She might know others who could be helpful.
