  • Ballard - Willis Humphreys Ballard (1906-1980)
  • 1950 c.
  • Southwest Harbor
  • 26 Villiage Green Way
The fire trucks are, from left to right: 1950 Ford 1943-1947 Ford 1941 Buffalo custom pumper Foreground: Hand pumper #609 The hand pumber #609 was built by William Cooper Hunneman (1769-1856) in 1857. William Hunneman, an apprentice to Paul Revere, is best known for the andirons and occasional teakettle marked with his surname. The #609 was sold first to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and named the "Governor Langdon". Purchased in 1879 by Bedford Massachusetts, #609 was renamed "Shawsheen", and became the second engine the town of Bedford owned. Later #609 made it's way to Tremont Maine, and in 1905, the pumper became a part of the new town of Southwest Harbor when it separated from Tremont. Drawn and pumped by hand, this pumper was last known to be used at the Causeway Club in Southwest Harbor, celebrating V-E Day in 1945. Over the remaining years the pumper was stored in many Mount Desert Island locations. Moved from place to place, including the museum in Northeast Harbor, the Seal Cove Auto Museum in Seal Cove, the pumper now resides in Southwest Harbor. In the winter of 2008-09, the Junior Firefighters checked on the pumper to find it's wheels frozen in three inches of ice at the current storage facility. This prompted the kids to start a fundraising campaign to house #609 in a permanent, solar powered, climate controlled building, on the grounds of the Southwest Harbor Fire Station. Two sides of the structure are to be UV protective glass for viewing and enjoyment by future generations.

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.
