Description: A set of 470 black and white negatives that are part of the Charles Butt Ballard Negative Collection, purchased from Paul Stubing in 1998-99. All of the negatives in this accession are related to the Webber's Cove Boat Yard, East Blue Hill, Maine. These negatives were never catalogued when the original purchase came to the historical society. It was decided on 10/21/2014 to keep these negatives as a part of the W.H. Ballard collection but that each negative would not be given an object id. If there is further interest in any of the detailed negatives, further work will be needed to identify and catalogue each distinct image.
