14941Merry Wings - Maine Sloop Boat
  • Reference
  • Vessels, Boat, Sailboat, Sloop
  • 1903 c.
"Merry Wing" was a Maine Sloop Boat, a centerboard sloop because Lewis Freeman Gott was from Gotts Island and he needed to be able to raise the centerboard to get into the Pool there. Lewis Freeman Gott won a cup for winning the Eagle Island Races three years in a row with "Merry Wing". The cup may be seen in the Tremont Historical Society Museum. "Local lore has it that she was the fastest sailboat in the area, and from time to time was entered in the early races held in the Great Harbor (Southwest Harbor - Northeast Harbor - Cranberry Isles neighborhood) under the auspices of the Northeast Harbor Fleet, and there proved her merit by beating everybody!" - The Newsletter of the Tremont Historical Society, Vol. 15, No. 1, Summer 2012, p. 1.

5903Toot 'N' Be Darned
  • Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard
  • Transportation, Carriage
  • M.T. Sheahan Publisher, Boston, Mass.
  • 1907
American Horse Breeder Publishing Co. postcard with hand written local inscription Number 5903. According to Jeff Beaumont, the car in the illustration is a 1906 Rambler. "In Mt. Desert, Tremont and Southwest Harbor nearly all the voters have signed the petitions while in the town of Eden [Bar Harbor] more than half of the voters have signed and a number of names are being added to the list each day. As is well known, practically every summer visitor to the island favors the absolute prohibition of automobiles on the island. The island of Mt. Desert is a dead end, so to speak, and an automobile could cover the whole island in a few hours, making no incentive for a prolonged stay. Yet a great deal of damage could be accomplished in a few hours in such a place as this where practically the entire summer population passes a large portion of each day in driving. The horses are not city broke and the numerous accidents that have already occurred here through the use of autos furnish a good specimen of what would happen were their use more common." - The Bar Harbor Record, December 30, 1908, quoted in the Bar Harbor Times, “Times Past” column by Deborah Dyer, January 1, 2009 See SWHPL 7484 for a photograph of Simeon "Sim" Holden Mayo breaking the rules and driving his automobile in Bar Harbor in 1908.

“Mrs. Fox” is probably Marion Quincy (Winslow) Rand (1868-1915), photographer Henry Lathrop Rand’s wife. The fox mask appears in several other playful pictures. There is a splint-ash chair in the hut and bunches of balsam branches apparently on a bench. The outside of the hut had a sapling trellis attached to the surface of the building. Balsam branches were attached to it.
