The view is from the Pemetic Hotel (The Castle) and, on the Southwest Harbor side, shows the Clarence Clark (Ellsbert/Heilaka) house left foreground. The long roofed building in the center, next to the harbor, a bowling alley after World War II - currently the Hamilton Marine building. The building on the right with the striped roof is the firm of Clark & Parker/Manset Marine Supply Co./ and the Oceanarium since 1979. The Oceanarium is the oldest commercial building on Clark Point - the only one extant except the Clarence Clark House. The Manset shore is in the background with discernible landmarks, including the Manset Union Church, the Stanley wharf, the early Stanley House and numerous commercial buildings on the Shore Road. There are about 30 schooners visible in the harbor and tied up at the wharves. - Identifications by Meredith Hutchins - 2006

This photograph was taken from the back shore of Clark Point just up the shore from the Claremont Dock. It shows the large boulder on the shore which is marked by a marker on the top of the boulder to keep boats from hitting it when the tide is high and the boulder is submerged. The Fernald Farm is visible at Fernald Point and to the left is the Fernald barn. "The barn has been gone for quite some time but the foundation is still visible as of 2020. Will Herrick and his family once lived on this farm and kept cows in the barn where they also stored hay. They sold their milk at Northeast Harbor, carrying it there by boat across the Sound. To the right of the photo you can see the herring weir off the end of Fernald Point at the entrance to Fernald Cove." - Ralph Stanley 10/12/20. "The farmhouse was built in the early 1800's. In 1842 it was remodeled and made into a two family dwelling for Eben and Daniel Fernald. The brothers lived there and worked the farm for many years." - Traditions and Records of Southwest Harbor and Somesville, Mount Desert Island, Maine by Mrs. Seth S. Thornton, p 138 and 9 - 1938.
