Description: The photographer and date are unknown, but judging from the gasoline pumps at the end of the wharf, the photo could be as early as the 1920s.

One of the photos is a Christmas card from H. R. Beal and Sons, Inc. signed Harvard & Elva. Another shows what appears to be construction of the wharf during the early 1900s judging by the pickup truck in the background.

This boat shop, built behind the owner's house, complete with two elegant bird houses, could have belonged to any one of many boat builders on and around Mount Desert and its surrounding islands or perhaps have been somewhere else in Maine. It is typical of the way mechanization crept into the boat building and servicing industry. The sign on the roof of the shop says, "Hartford Marine Gas Engines For Sale."
