The fire trucks are, from left to right: 1950 Ford 1943-1947 Ford 1941 Buffalo custom pumper Foreground: Hand pumper #609 The hand pumber #609 was built by William Cooper Hunneman (1769-1856) in 1857. William Hunneman, an apprentice to Paul Revere, is best known for the andirons and occasional teakettle marked with his surname. The #609 was sold first to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and named the "Governor Langdon". Purchased in 1879 by Bedford Massachusetts, #609 was renamed "Shawsheen", and became the second engine the town of Bedford owned. Later #609 made it's way to Tremont Maine, and in 1905, the pumper became a part of the new town of Southwest Harbor when it separated from Tremont. Drawn and pumped by hand, this pumper was last known to be used at the Causeway Club in Southwest Harbor, celebrating V-E Day in 1945. Over the remaining years the pumper was stored in many Mount Desert Island locations. Moved from place to place, including the museum in Northeast Harbor, the Seal Cove Auto Museum in Seal Cove, the pumper now resides in Southwest Harbor. In the winter of 2008-09, the Junior Firefighters checked on the pumper to find it's wheels frozen in three inches of ice at the current storage facility. This prompted the kids to start a fundraising campaign to house #609 in a permanent, solar powered, climate controlled building, on the grounds of the Southwest Harbor Fire Station. Two sides of the structure are to be UV protective glass for viewing and enjoyment by future generations.

Nell and Seth Thornton are shown leaving Southwest Harbor for their home in Houlton, Maine in a beautiful 1910 Model T Ford automobile. Nell sits in the back seat, a man is driving and another stands at the side of the car. The Model T may belong to Seth or the other man who may possibly be driving them to Bar Harbor or Ellsworth to board the train for Houlton. If the Ford belonged to the Thorntons the trip from Southwest Harbor to Houlton would have taken them at least 11 hours by automobile in 1912. They probably would have stopped for at least one night thereby making an even longer trip. The Carroll family celebrated the Fourth of July every year with a picnic at their old family home, The Mountain House, on Carroll hill in Southwest Harbor.
