15547Ocean View Cabins on Route 3 in Seal Harbor
  • Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard
  • Structures, Commercial, Lodging, Tourist Cabin
  • Luther S. Phillips, Bangor, Maine
  • 1959 PM
  • Mount Desert, Seal Harbor
According to Earl Brechlin, the location of the cabins appears to be just east of Little Harbor Brook between Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The view is looking towards the southwest from the hill on the north side of Route 3. If you zoom in above the place you can just make out the bridge over the stream which is tidal at that point. The little island fits with topos of the area. There's a large estate there now. The back of the card indicates that the cabins were owned by Arthur and Evelyn Gibbs.

  • 1950 PM
“This vessel was built as a U. S. Navy hospital ship, “The Comfort,” and served in the Pacific during World War II and later served as a U. S. Army transport to bring the troops back home. Reportedly the nurses’ lounge of the vessel had once been hit by a kamikaze in Okinawa. When the Maine Maritime Academy Students went to sea in her as “The State of Maine,” the three padded cells in the former psycho ward of the hospital ship, were still in place. Philip Rich [Philip Clifton Rich (1941-)], who attended the Academy from 1959-1962, bunked in the former isolation ward, which held only five or six cadets, during his junior year and remembers that the plumbing fixtures of the former psycho ward had levers, not regular handles. They used the padded cells on the second deck as storages closets to supplement the cadets’ small storage lockers.” – Meredith Hutchins 01/25/12

The clipping reads: "MANSET, Me., Feb. 10 (AP) Yacht builders of Manset have resumed an art dormant since pre-war days, the fashioning of king-sized pleasure craft on Mount Desert Island. Of "two sixty-footers now building, one is a future. Bermuda race contender ordered by Harry G. Haskell Jr. of Wilmington, Del. and Northeast Harbor. The other will fly the flag of Cummins Catherwood of Philadelphia. The yachts are. on ways of Henry R. Hinckley & Co. Shipwrights expect Mr. Haskell's craft will be launched in April or May. The tentative date for the other launching is June 17." The Catherwood boat was the Valhalla. The Haskell boat was the Nirvana.
