| Engraved postage stamp Vessel: Pilgrim Shallop - Shallop Title: Pilgrim Tercentenary 1620-1920 – Landing of the Pilgrims Scott Cat. Number: 549 Subject: Pilgrim Landing 1620 Media: Flat plate engraving Designer: Huston - Clair Aubrey Huston (1857-1938) Design Inspiration - art: White – Edwin White (1817-1877) Design Inspiration – engraving: Burt – Charles Kennedy Burt (1823-1892) Vignette Engraver: Smillie – George Frederick Cumming Smillie (1854-1924) Letter Engraver: Edward Mitchell Weeks (1866-1959) Frame Engraver: Louis Sartain Schofield (1868-1938) Printer: United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing Color: Carmine Rose Size: 1” x 1.25” Country: United States Postage Value: 2 cents Issue Series: 2nd in the Pilgrim Tercentennial Series. Issue Origin: The Pilgrim Tercentennial was a national celebration from December 1920 to the summer of 1921. Issue Date: December 21, 1920 Issue Location: Plymouth, Massachusetts Issue Size: 196,037,327 See Also: "The Engraver’s Line: An Encyclopedia of Paper Money & Postage Stamp Art" by Gene Hessler, BNR Press, Port Clinton, Ohio, 1993. Page 4 and 5 explain the production steps taken to turn original art into an engraved postage stamp. Worth reading as the engraver works from the beginning on a plate of about 3.5” x 4,” engraving a stamp at its finished size. Engraving is used for very few stamps today and, when one reads about the process, one can understand why. The author even provides particular engraver’s recipes for the acid they used, including that of James Smillie, the famous landscape engraver. Smillie - James Smillie (1807-1885) |

| 13648 | The Resurrection of the Sloop Endeavor |
|
|
|
| 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. |
