[Update: I first posted this as circa 1923. I then found a reference to this vessel in 1921. Thus, I have changed my estimate of the date to 1920.] Shipbuilding was a common enterprise on Bearskin Neck in the early 1900s. In another postcard I posted here earlier, you can see a ship under construction.…
Update: I realized that I have another copy of this same card. It bears a dated postmark of July 21, 1913. So I am revising my estimate of the photograph's date back a couple years, to 1912 (at the latest). This scene of a still and quiet harbor, showing Motif No. 1, is not postmarked…
Composition and color combine in this postcard to make a simple scene visually striking. The postcard has no date, but its publisher, The Hugh C. Leighton Co. of Portland, Maine, was in business only from 1906-1909. So it is fair to estimate that this view is from roughly 1907. As for the location of this…
Like many old postcards of Thacher Island, this one misspells the name as "Thatcher's." This card is postmarked Sept. 3, 1906. It was published by the Hugh C. Leighton Co., Portland, Maine, and printed in Frankfort, Germany. For more about the island, see my earlier post and also the website of the Thacher Island Association.
It might have been the Big Dig of its day. In 1882, the U.S. Congress authorized a survey of Sandy Bay "with a view to the construction of a breakwater for a harbor of refuge." The goal was to create a massive safe harbor where ships en route between Boston and Portland could duck into…
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, warships from the U.S. Navy's North Atlantic Squadron were regular visitors to Sandy Bay. News reports from the time suggest the squadron's arrival was always a notable event. For example, a July 9, 1899, New York Times article reported: The fleet was met by a Reception Committee of Rockport…
This postcard of Pigeon Cove is not dated. The derrick scow in the center of the photo appears to be the same one shown in an earlier post here putting granite blocks on the Sandy Bay breakwater. That earlier postcard was postmarked 1912, so I am assuming this is from the same time period. Some…
Apart from identifying this as a lighthouse, the caption of this postcard gets none of its facts straight. This, of course, is one of the famous Twin Lights, located on Thacher Island, not "Thatchers." It is generally referred to as the south tower, not the eastern tower, and it is in Rockport, not Gloucester. Thacher…
This post card depicts clam diggers at Pine Point. The Scarborough River estuary is well known for it's delicious clams. Early in the 20th century one of Burnham and Morrill's best selling products was Scarboro Beach Clam Chowder. It was served on railroad dining cars across the country. The fishing boat on the right is a dory which was a popular style vessel 100 years ago.
