| 13376 | Lantern Walk and Story Telling at the Causeway |
|
|
|
|
|
| Photographer George Soules posted the following on his blog for Nov 16, 2013: Last night the Southwest Harbor Public Library on Mount Desert Island held a Lantern Walk. "As the days start to grow shorter we start to think about light and ways we can celebrate it. A lantern walk is an observance of the changing season." In preparation for this event, all were invited to come to the library the Thursday before to make lanterns. Janice was there as a volunteer helping the children glue colored paper onto tall glass wide mouth jars. On Friday, participants met at 5:00 PM at the High Road parking lot in Southwest Harbor and walked down Causeway Lane with lanterns lit. Then, aided by the glow of a full moon, they carefully navigated the path down to the water and gathered on the rocks for some storytelling before heading back. Janice and I tagged along with the hope of getting some pictures that captured the feel of this magical evening. I used a Canon 5D Marl II DSLR mounted on a tripod with a Canon 24-70mm lens at f/2.8. I exposed the scene for 2 seconds at ISO 1600. Thanks to the moonlight, the surrounding area was nicely exposed as well. |

| 13839 | Henry Lathrop Rand's European Trip in 1896 |
|
| 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. |

| 14069 | Army-Navy E Award Presentation to Southwest Boat Corporation / Manset Boat Corporation |
|
| 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. |
