[Best guess at written note: "Fren Cape, Nsor 8am, point 21+ NorW, from Stan point, to Cape Jack(?) 21+, N(illegible symbols), Way-and give Sun, Point 1/2 mile -, From Cape Jack(?), to Cape George or, Cape Laieu(?) NW (and then some illegible letters)". A note attributed to "The Maine Islands in Story and Legend" by Dorothy Simpson says: "Capt. Samuel Hadlock in 1807, during Napoleonic wars, took load of fish to Spain, with good profit and returned with load of salt and lemons. He built a store on Little Cranberry. He built ships too, captained by his five sons. His third son was Samuel who lived on Great Cranberry....". Samuel Hadlock, Jr., built the 1826 house that became the Preble House. Samuel Hadlock, Jr.'s adventures were subject of Rachel Field's book, "God's Pocket" [show more]
