|  Letter to the Southwest Harbor Public Library from Charles Morris Young Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: On letterhead printed with "Hares Lane Radnor Pennsylvania", the letter reads: Nov 27th 1948 To the Southwest Harbor Library Southwest Harbor, Me, I believe you have a painting of the old Clark Wharf which I loaned to the library years ago. This painting is still my property and I have [illegible] decided to present to the library [?] permanent possession. I only ask['ed' struck out] it be treated with respect and not sold or bartered. Painting of this size and character of mine have sold around $2500.00 and I consider this a good example of my work. If the Library committee decides to accept it for its permanent collection I would like a formal acknowledgement Very sincerely yours, Chas. Morris Young I would suggest that the painting be cleaned with a little ivory soap and cold water this will not harm it. Very likely the frame would be improved by regilding with a coat of regular gold paint or powder. C.M.Y. [show more] | |

|  Letter to the Southwest Harbor Public Library from Charles Morris Young Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: The letter reads: Dec. 16th, 1963 To, Lawrence Phillips, Southwest Harbor. To answer your letter Oct 18th saying in view of my painting "Clark's Wharf," which I loaned to the library for many years! I have recently got an appraisal of this painting although he has not seen this particular canvas, he has handled my pictures and sold many and therefore knows what they will bring - and names the value of the painting "Clarks Wharf" so I have decided to present the canvas to the Southwest Harbor Library - and take a chance of getting an allowance on my income tax. Simply have the Library write saying they would like to have it, and that the library is a public institution and a non profit one; I would have to get the letter before Jan 1st 1964 to get a benefit on my income tax. With cordial remembrances, Chas Morris Young "95th" year. Box 74, Radnor Pa [show more] | |

|  Fish Factory Workers in Southwest Harbor with Horse Mackerel and Halibut Southwest Harbor Public Library Description: "The catch. probably tuna (called horse mackerel locally), has arrived at the packing house, having been dressed on board vessel. Now it is up to this hardy packing crew to wash these monstrous fish before packing them for shipment to Boston. Except for Asian markets, which existed mostly in large cities, there were few buyers for this product. At other times this packing house was filled with the more predominant fish of the day: hake, cod, haddock, and mackerel. Crews would wash the fish, lather them with salt, and pack them in ice in the tall barrels shown at rear for shipment to Gloucester or Boston. Only a few dealers in Manset, such as the Parkers, specialized in halibut, as it had to be shipped fresh on ice. Mackerel was the only product that had to be inspected once it arrived in Gloucester. As this list suggests, local fisheries processed a variety of fish. The local fishermen would head out, from spring through fall, following the schools, returning with whatever the sea would offer, and putting extra change in their pockets." – Text accompanying this photograph in “Mount Desert Island - Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor” by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr. and Lydia B. Vandenbergh - Images of America Series, 2001. p. 43. [show more] |
