Glass Plate Negative, Mount Desert Rock
Great Harbor Maritime Museum
Description:
A Gloucester fishing schooner sails not far from Mount Desert Rock under partial sail. A number of people are visible on the deck, and a stack of dories can be seen between the masts. A large flag has the name of the vessel, which appears to be two words, though only Frances P. M______ is visible. William H. Bunting has (July 2021) identified this schooner as the Frances P. Mesquita, of Gloucester. Built in Gloucester in 1905, she was owned and commanded by Capt. Joseph Mesquita, and was both a successful fishing and racing vessel. She was sold in 1918 to owners from Newfoundland, and sunk by a U-boat that year. The envelope with this negative reads: No. 7 f., Tower, Single Tenement + Double Tenement, Looking N.W." and is likely an envelope reused from another negative. [show more]

About this photo, George Bedigan wrote: "I have enclosed scan of my father’s (Jean Bedigian) discharge papers from SS Norembega. The picture in question looks to be more circa 1920 than 1902. I say that after examining the gentleman with the suit and tie. If Jean Bedigian is in the photo it would be the fourth crew member from the left. I do not have a photo of him at that time but a photo of one of his sons (attached .. soldier on the right ) has a likeness. Also he was not a tall man approx. 5’ 7”. Jean’s mother (Zois) and sister(Maria who married an American soldier) emigrated to the US after the first world war and may have settled in the area." Jean Bedigian (1885-1950) [show more]

Merry Wings - Maine Sloop Boat
Southwest Harbor Public Library
Description:
"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.
