This postcard photograph is valuable to historians interested in Manset, Maine. The image shown here has, therefore, been cleaned for study. The original postcard, untouched, remains in the collection, as do all other images, in its original, scanned version. When archivists enlarged the photograph for study they could see that the original photograph had been altered before printing to blank out the sky. The area above the horizon was removed.

“1941 - With World War II on the horizon, [Henry Rose Hinckley II (1907-1980)] goes to Washington D.C. to secure contracts for military boats. His first order is for twenty 38-foot Coast Guard picket boats. By the end of the war, 93 of these boats are built for the Coast Guard, using production line techniques developed for the Islander. The yard also builds 24-foot Navy personnel boats, motor mine and tow yawls (using a hull design that would briefly reappear 30 years later in fiberglass yacht club launches), shallow-draft towboats and sailing yawls as part of the war effort… By the end of the war, Hinckley will have built nearly 40% of the 1,358 boats built in Maine for the war.” - “The Hinckley Company History”
