10196Freight Bill from the Sidewheel Steamer Rockland
  • Document, Financial, Receipt
  • Vessels, Steamboat
  • 1853-11-02
  • Southwest Harbor
A freight bill for 3 casks of lime for Capt. James Long (1814-1895) signed by Jo. R. Freeman [John T.R. Freeman (1838-1916)] and paid at Mt. Desert on November 2, 1853. As can be seen from the account below, "Rockland" was supposed to have been built in 1853 and to have gone into service in 1854, but this bill of lading clearly shows that she was working in the Mt. Desert area as early as November 1853. She may have gone on the water in 1853 and done some freight work in the area before she started her career on the passenger route in 1854. The 1857 date may just be an error.

Archivists surmise that this photograph is Florence Clark from a comparison of this image with others of her and from the fact that the photograph was in an old collection of Clark family photographs from this branch of the family. The photograph was probably taken near the time of her marriage to Clarence.

Annie Downs Clark is in the center - just left of doorway. The sign on the building announcing “Beautiful Stereopticon Views” does not refer to stereograph or stereoscopic views, viewed through a viewer held in one’s hand. "Beautiful Stereopticon Views" - "The word "stereopticon" is frequently confused with "stereograph" and "stereoscope," but has nothing to do with either. The "Stereopticon" was a single lensed device to project lantern slides - transparent pictures on glass used for public lectures - we know it as a "slide show" in the Kodachrome era. The powerful light to project the image was generated by the same type of gas as miners used for their lamps. The event being advertised was an educational event probably showing slides of exotic places that most people from Southwest Harbor would never see except in pictures." - Weston J. Naef - August 2008.
