  • Southwest Harbor
  • 338 Main Street
Ralph Stanley interviews Athol Higgins, who talks about her husband, Howe Higgins, and his jobs. Before World War One, he worked in the Post Office in Bar Harbor and saw the switch from horses to automobiles. After World War One, he worked in the customs office in Southwest Harbor for twelve years. His duties as customs officer got in the way of some friendships. He talks of sardine boats that went herring fishing in bad weather and fog. The sardine factory was a busy place during the Spring and Summer as it was the main source of employment. Howe helped start the fire department after the fire of 1922; his office was in the Odd Fellows Hall and he carried out a lot of files to prevent them from burning. Athol talks about walking out to "the small island in the middle of the harbor" for picnics, and having to be careful of the tide.
