3003Prince
  • Reference
  • Nature, Animals
“Prince” was a horse that originally belonged to Nell (Carrroll) Thornton in Houlton, Maine. Prince apparently died while staying with the Carroll Family in Southwest Harbor. Archivists were surprised at the number of Carroll family photographs of or featuring the horse, each lovingly labeled with his name. This letter attests to the family’s attachment to Prince.

5470Pug Rand with his Steamer Trunk
  • Image, Photograph, Photographic Print, Albumen Print
  • Nature, Animals
  • Rand - Henry Lathrop Rand (1862-1945)
  • 1898-06-26
Pug was considered a member of the Rand family and, as you can see, traveled with his own luggage. The photograph was possibly taken while traveling to Southampton on the Hamburg American Line's SS Furst Bismarck steamship. Archivists have been unable to find with whom in the Rand family he was traveling, but Margaret Arnoild Rand applied for a passport a few months before the photograph was taken so it is possible that they shared the First Cabin Stateroom indicated in this picture.
