15547	Ocean View Cabins on Route 3 in Seal Harbor	Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard	Structures, Commercial, Lodging, Tourist Cabin		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.

6733	Steamer State of Maine, Portland, Maine	Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard	Vessels, Steamboat		The Hugh C. Leighton Company, Portland, Maine	1950 PM			“This vessel was built as a U. S. Navy hospital ship, “The Comfort,” and served in the Pacific during World War II and later served as a U. S. Army transport to bring the troops back home. Reportedly the nurses’ lounge of the vessel had once been hit by a kamikaze in Okinawa. When the Maine Maritime Academy Students went to sea in her as “The State of Maine,” the three padded cells in the former psycho ward of the hospital ship, were still in place. Philip Rich [Philip Clifton Rich (1941-)], who attended the Academy from 1959-1962, bunked in the former isolation ward, which held only five or six cadets, during his junior year and remembers that the plumbing fixtures of the former psycho ward had levers, not regular handles. They used the padded cells on the second deck as storages closets to supplement the cadets’ small storage lockers.” – Meredith Hutchins 01/25/12	Steamer State of Maine, Portland, Maine Item: 6733 Type: Image, Photograph, Picture Postcard Subject: Vessels, Steamboat Publisher: The Hugh C.
