16710	Interview of Irma Gott	Document, Recording, Audio Recording	People			Southwest Harbor	338 Main Street	David Spurling interviews Irma Gott and discusses her parents. Earl Williams Gott was her father, and her mother came to Southwest Harbor one summer to work in the sardine factory and never got around to leaving. Irma was married three times, outlived them all, and eventually changed back to her maiden name. After high school, she went right to work at the post office where her father was the Postmaster. After her father passed away, she took over as Postmaster and retired in 1975. She talks about her pets that keep her busy in retirement-cats and dogs and birds. During the Great Depression she learned to play the piano, and later the organ. She would play at churches and local events, and even for the USO during World War Two. Music was a big theme for her, as her father and uncles played in the Southwest Harbor town band who played at the Blue Hill Fair, 4th of July events, and the retirement of steamship "JT Morris"	Interview of Irma Gott Item: 16710 Accession #: 1141 Type: Document, Recording, Audio Recording Subject: People Place: Southwest Harbor State: ME Address: 338 Main Street Description: David Spurling interviews Irma Gott and discusses her parents.

16719	Interview of Laurence Newman	Document, Recording, Audio Recording	People			Southwest Harbor	338 Main Street	In this interview, Laurence talks about being born and raised in Manset. His grandfather has a store there, though his grandmother was the one who really ran it. She also worked at the Post Office in Manset. She talks about the "Prussian Women," and Capt. Samuel Hadlock's relationship with her. He would sail into the Northern waters and bring back mementos for her; he once brought back Eskimos with sleds and dogs. Capt. Hadlock died on one such voyage and was found frozen onboard his ship. Laurence's father was a fisherman, and Laurence stayed in that line of work, even as he wont off to MIT for school. He met his wife at a dance that he was playing saxophone for. After a long time working as an engineer in Connecticut, he moved back to Southwest Harbor to be a fisherman again. He tells many stories of his time fishing; great catches, salting and drying the fish on the beach, and selling to processors. He would run fishing parties on the weekends for people, and had people booking their spots a year in advance. He preferred going out in the dense fog, as others would not venture out and he got all the good spots to himself. Laurence laments the overfishing and destructive techniques (gill netting and bottom trawling) that caused the collapse of the cod fishery in New England.

16693	Luxury yacht Vanda anchored in Southwest Harbor	Image, Photograph, Photographic Print	Vessels, Boat			Southwest Harbor, Manset		Photo of the 240’ yacht “Vanda” anchored in Southwest Harbor. The photo appears to have been taken from Manset with Saint Savior, Flying Mountain, and Acadia Mountain in the background. The tip of Clark Point is visible in the upper left with a large unidentified structure near the left edge of the photo. Docked in the foreground is a tender with lettering that reads “BABY V” but the last letter is obscured by the dock ramp. The photo was probably taken by Henry Rose Hinckley II, who according to his daughter Ann Levy, “was an amateur photographer and developed his own photos. He had a darkroom in the basement of both the old house (at the head of the harbor) and the newer one (just behind the boat yard).” The print was with others in her possession which had belonged to her uncle Benjamin B. Hinckley. The date of the photo is unknown, but it had to have been taken between 1928 when Vanda was built and 1942 when she was acquired by the U.S. Navy.
