“1941 - With World War II on the horizon, [Henry Rose Hinckley II (1907-1980)] goes to Washington D.C. to secure contracts for military boats. His first order is for twenty 38-foot Coast Guard picket boats. By the end of the war, 93 of these boats are built for the Coast Guard, using production line techniques developed for the Islander. The yard also builds 24-foot Navy personnel boats, motor mine and tow yawls (using a hull design that would briefly reappear 30 years later in fiberglass yacht club launches), shallow-draft towboats and sailing yawls as part of the war effort… By the end of the war, Hinckley will have built nearly 40% of the 1,358 boats built in Maine for the war.” - “The Hinckley Company History”

14918Painting Islands - Uniting Community with Art
  • Set
  • Places, Island
This personal art project of Howie Motenko used participatory art and the photographic technique of light painting on all the 15 year-round Maine Islands. His idea was to assemble a team of resident island volunteers who, wielding flashlights, would “paint” an iconic scene with light while he created a long-exposure photograph. Howie partnered with the Maine Seacoast Mission and the Island Institute as a conduit to begin a dialogue with each local island community and travel support to each of the islands during the shoot. The project kicked off in May of 2014. The project is funded in part by the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
