Documents pertaining to the Schooner Wild Rose
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Documents. Five small, folded packets of receipts and ledger sheets, each tied with twine. Most pertain to the Schooner Wild Rose provisioning and selling fish in the 1890s at local stores. Initials of Wild Rose fishermen and amounts (or weights) of fish for each fisherman often appear on reverse of these ledger sheets. The Wild Rose was 47.5 ft. built in Boothbay. Owned in 1885 by Willis Bunker. Mentioned in the records of a 1938 hurricane (per gcihs.org/1/photos/ci_notes.html). (See also 2016.332.2095 for Willis Bunker photos; his wife's name was Rosalee.) (A) Packet one: various dates, various years 1893, 1890, 1895 receipts for Wild Rose. Receipts and purchases for provisions of ships from local stores including specific parts of cod fish like 'sounds' i.e., the air bladder of a cod. (B) Packet two: 1895 receipts and purchases. (C) Packet three: 1896 receipts for Wild Rose sales of fish to Southwest Harbor, ME, store. (D) Packet four: 1888 receipts for Wild Rose. (E) Packet five: Receipts for Wild Rose.

Rowboat or skiff by Chummy Spurling
Great Cranberry Island Historical Society
Description:
Boat. Rowboat or skiff made ca. 1890. White with red trim. (The boat is on the right in this 2016 photo showing two rowboats. The other images are from June 2010 after GCIHS was given the boat and before it was repainted.) Per Willie Granston (GHMM): "used to have a name on the stern (Cat's Miow) and was given to the Historical Society by a Northeast Harbor family who had it in the basement of their cottage (the Brzezinski family)... I had it in an exhibit in Northeast Harbor (The Power of the Oar - Summer 2010), and it looked really really nice. We spent a lot of time cleaning it and washing it... It is almost undoubtedly a Chummy Spurling skiff as I lined it up with a known Spurling and measured the two side by side and all the dimensions matched, down to the size, number, and spacing of the ribs.." (See link below to album showing the rowboat when it was displayed in NEH Maritime Museum.) [show more]
