  • Reference
  • Events
The Army-Navy "E" Award was presented to a company during World War II for excellence in production of war equipment. The award was also known as the Army-Navy Production Award. The award consisted of a pennant for the plant and emblems for all employees in the plant at the time the award was made. The pennant was triangular swallowtail with a white border, with a capital E within a yellow wreath of oak and laurel leaves on a vertical divided blue and red background. ARMY is on the red background and NAVY on the blue background. Usually an Army officer and a Navy officer would be present at a ceremony conducted before the plant’s employees. The Army-Navy "E" Award program was terminated after the war ended. To read Benjamin Hinckley’s account of the award ceremony see "The Hinckley Story "by Benjamin B. Hinckley, Jr., published by Pilot Press, Dedham, Massachusetts, 1997, p. 35.

13839Henry Lathrop Rand's European Trip in 1896
  • Reference
  • Events
Photographer Henry L. Rand and his cousin Julius Ross Wakefield traveled to Europe together in the summer and fall of 1896. Henry, as usual, documented the trip with a map and 87 photographs, found principally in Volume 10 of the Henry L. Rand Collection. The photographs are numbered in their titles in the order in which they appear in Rand's album. Henry drew the Continental Route of the trip, as evidenced by his distinctive handwriting, and then photographed the map and pasted it into Volume 10 as his number 1143. He probably copied the map from a printed one and added the longitude and latitude lines that can faintly be seen in the photograph. Henry and Julius took the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II to Naples, Italy and then proceeded by water to Genoa. From there they went to Milan and took a side trip to Verona and Venice, returning to Milan. From Milan they went to Lake Como, Italy staying at the Grand Hotel Bellagio and on to Lake Lugano at the border between Italy and Switzerland, to Brieg by way of Simplon and over the Rhone Glacier to Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. They parted at Lucerne as can be seen from Henry’s tiny arrows and initials on the route from there. Julius went to Zurich, Lake Constance, and to Munich, Nuremberg and Frankfort, Germany to meet Henry in the old city of Mainz, Germany. Henry went from Lucerne to Basel, Switzerland and up the Rhine River to Heidelberg to meet Julius in Mainz. They continued up the Rhine together to Cologne. Julius headed through Belgium toward Paris from Cologne, meeting Henry over the border in France. Henry went from Cologne to Amsterdam, Holland to Haarlem and Katwyn on the North Sea and then down to the Hague by way of Leyden. He then went inland to Rotterdam and Brussels on his way to their rendezvous in France where they both continued to Paris. Henry at least then visited and photographed Salisbury, England before returning home. Henry Lathrop Rand arrived in New York aboard "Columbia" on August 21, 1896 from Southampton, England.

  • Rockland ME
The Friendship sloop Endeavor sunk off Rockland Harbor on July 24, 2001 while racing in the three-day Friendship Sloop Days Annual Homecoming. Divers searched for the wreck for a month until she was found 70 feet down on the bottom of the harbor by using sidescan SONAR on August 18th a short distance from where she went down. Efforts to raise “Endeavor” were unsuccessful until Southwest Harbor captain Douglas E. Beal Jr. (1952-), aboard his “Salvage III” brought her up on Friday, August 24 and brought her back home. This sequential set of photos shows the process of Endeavor being lifted out of the water by Salvage III and brought back to Southwest Harbor for inspection and repair. The photos also show the damage to the boat after a month under water.

Members of the community and the staff at the library were sad when age and disease caught up with the last of the original library trees and it had to be removed. Local artist, Philip Clifton Rich (1941-), whose family were long time residents of the area and who had grown up within walking distance of the library, made the beautiful desk and chair from the wood that could be saved from the tree. He and his niece, Kristin Rebecca Hutchins (1959-), daughter of former librarian Meredith Rich Hutchins (1938-2016), also made several wooden cutting boards from the very last of the wood. The boards were raffled for the benefit of the library.

  • 1983-09
In 1983 Ben Conley Worcester, Jr. of Southwest Harbor gave a lot of land in his Salem Towne Woods development off the Long Pond Road to be raffled off to benefit Harbor House and the Southwest Harbor Public Library. The proceeds from the raffle would be split between the two institutions. At the time Warren R. Worcester, library trustee, and Brian Worcester, his nephew, who was a Harbor House trustee, "talked about the raffle...and decided it best to try to sell 500 tickets at $20 each." On January 17, 1983 at its annual meeting the library trustees voted to participate in the raffle in conjunction with Harbor House. People who live in small towns often have multiple connections to one another and it would be erroneous to assume that, because of the shared surname of Worcester, the raffle was a family scheme to benefit two of Southwest Harbor's most cherished institutions. Ben Conley Worcester was a distant cousin of Warren and Brian Worcester and the Worcester families had come at different times to Mount Desert Island from down Washington County. Their primary connection in Southwest Harbor would have been the fact that the Ben Conley Worcester family could have bought its groceries at Sawyer's Market, owned by Brian Worcester's family and the Brian Worcester family sent its garbage to the [Conley] Worcester Associates town dump. Further, the writer of this piece, former Southwest Harbor librarian, Meredith Hutchins, (ret. 1981) grew up in the Clark Point Road house formerly owned by the Ben Conley Worcester family. "Landing The Prize… Scott Worcester of Southwest Harbor receives congratulations from Sallie Hinckley of the Southwest Harbor [Public] Library after winning an acre of land in the recent fund-raising effort of the library and the Harbor House. The 20-year old business administration student at University of Maine at Orono says he plans to hang onto the land, which was donated by Conley Worcester of Southwest Harbor. Margo Stanley, at left, holds the copy of Thornton’s History of Somesville and Southwest Harbor that was won by the Southwest Harbor branch of the First National Bank of Bar Harbor. The second prize, a free, round-trip on Bar Harbor Airlines was won by Vaughn Marshall of Machias. The raffle raised $9,400 to be divided between the Harbor House and the library." – The Bar Harbor Times, Thursday, September 8, 1983, Sec. 1, p. 13.
