Description: This 6 by 10 inch black and white photograph is a duplicate of #001-71.4. That picture is labeled Northeast Harbor rather than Southwest Harbor like this photo is. I believe Northeast Harbor is more accurate. There are 10 or 11 gaff-rigged sailboats sailing. In the background are the mountains of Mt. Desert Island. This photograph is fuzzy and has two spots on the upper lefthand side.

Description: This 10 and 1/4 by 7 and 3/4 inch black and white photograph is mounted on gray cardboard-like paper. Nine becalmed sailing vessels are in the foreground. A rowboat and part of a sailing hull are on the right edge of the foreground. Land is visible behind the sailboats, as is one more sailing vessel. The shadows of the sails are reflections in the water.
Description: This 6 and 1/4 by 9 and 3/4 inch, black and white photograph is mounted on light gray cardboard-like paper. The foreground of the picture is dark so the sailboat is a black shadow and it is impossible to make out the details of the boat's hull. There are black clouds in the sky and a piece of land in the background. On the backside, the words, "Northeast Harbor" are written, as well as, "19431/Guide".
Description: This 10 and 1/4 by 6 and 3/4 inch black and white photograph is mounted on gray cardboard-like paper. The rock formations in the foreground are black. There are points of land on the horizon where the sun can be seen rising. The label on the backside is "Mt. Desert ?".

On the back, the words "Northeast Harbor" appear.
Description: This is an 8 by 10 inch black and white photograph mounted on gray cardboard. It is difficult to determine where this photograph was taken. It seems as if it was taken on a wooded knoll looking out to the ocean. There are points of land jutting out in the background and it looks as if there is a sandy inlet at the base of the knoll. The original inventory list indicates that "Merry Christmas in Gold Lettering" is written on the gray matte. However, those words do not appear now. [show more]
Description: This is a 6 by 10 inch black and white photograph mounted on a gray cardboard. It appears to be a duplicate of object #001-71.1. The backside is labeled as in #001-71.1. That is "race, Somes Sonnel, Northeast Harbor". Again, the mountains of Mount Desert Island are in the background but it is questionable as to whether the race is on Somes Sound. (ALW) The photo is faded and cloudy but does not have the green spots on the left as #001-71.1 does. [show more]

Looking under the stern two boats are partially visible with large numbers on their sides.

Description: This 11 by 14 inch black and white photograph is a copy of a Ballard photograph. The print is of the Northeast Harbor Fleet dock and clubhouse. There is a beached A boat named the Nevis by the side of the dock. An adult is working on the hull, it looks like he is painting the bottom. Three other males, of various ages, are by the boat. In front of the clubhouse are two men talking. One is sitting astride a bicycle. There are other bicycles near these two men. Nautical flags are flying and there is an old car parked on the road. The car is from the late 40's early 50's vintage. Judging from the subjects, the car and the size of the clubhouse, this photo was taken before the late 1960's. [show more]
