15547Ocean View Cabins on Route 3 in Seal Harbor

  • Luther S. Phillips, Bangor, Maine
  • 1959 PM
  • Mount Desert, Seal Harbor
According to Earl Brechlin, the location of the cabins appears to be just east of Little Harbor Brook between Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor. The view is looking towards the southwest from the hill on the north side of Route 3. If you zoom in above the place you can just make out the bridge over the stream which is tidal at that point. The little island fits with topos of the area. There's a large estate there now. The back of the card indicates that the cabins were owned by Arthur and Evelyn Gibbs.

The automobile to the right of the vessel is a circa 1948 Jeep CJ (Civilian Jeep) Note the peavey stuck into the ground (above the “O” on the “DETOUR” sign). A peavey is a logging tool with a wooden shaft and metal hook invented in 1857 by blacksmith Joseph Daniel Peavey (1799-1873) of Stillwater, Maine, as a refinement to the cant hook to manhandle logs on logging runs. The Peavey Manufacturing Co. is still located in Maine (Eddington, Maine) and manufactures several variations.
