Description:
Model, three mast schooner model, wood. This model was constructed by Merchant Mariner and Bar Harbor storekeeper, Herbert Allen Whitney (1881-1950), and his brother Captain Harold Whitney in 1935-1937. It sailed in Hull's Cove in 1938, survived an apartment fire with only its sails singed, and then was relegated to basement storage for 60 years. In 2011, Phil and Karin Whitney, Mickey Macfarlan, and John French restored the model and christened her, The Islander. Model is loaned to GCIHS by Phil Whitney. [show more]
