  • 184 Clark Point Road
“Summer tourists who enter Mount Desert by the way of South-west Harbor are liable to receive very unfavorable impressions of this beautiful island. While approaching the shore, the most charming views are obtained, but after the first salutation their majesties the mountains become shy, and when the steamer reaches the pier they are wholly lost to sight. On landing, an ancient, fish-like smell is found to pervade the air around the dock in the vicinity of the lobster-boiling establishment, while the general aspect of the place is hardly inviting. By crossing the harbor to the Ocean House, the view of the mountains may indeed be regained, yet the prospect from the east side is tame.” - Rambles in Mount Desert With Sketches of Travel on The New-England Coast by B.F. DeCosta, p. 45 - 1871

About this photo, George Bedigan wrote: "I have enclosed scan of my father’s (Jean Bedigian) discharge papers from SS Norembega. The picture in question looks to be more circa 1920 than 1902. I say that after examining the gentleman with the suit and tie. If Jean Bedigian is in the photo it would be the fourth crew member from the left. I do not have a photo of him at that time but a photo of one of his sons (attached .. soldier on the right ) has a likeness. Also he was not a tall man approx. 5’ 7”. Jean’s mother (Zois) and sister(Maria who married an American soldier) emigrated to the US after the first world war and may have settled in the area." Jean Bedigian (1885-1950)

The Canopic made her first White Star Line voyage on January 14, 1903 on the Liverpool to Boston service. In 1904 she was transferred to the New York to Mediterranean service. From 1917 till 1919 she operated under the Liner Requisition Scheme. In February 1919 she reverted back to White Star Line, and in July went to the New York to Mediterranean berth. In 1922 the “Canopic” replaced the “Arabic” on the Mediterranean route. On April 13, 1922 she made her first voyage on the Liverpool to Halifax to Boston route, then to the Montreal run for the summer. On November 10, 1922 she started on the Bremen to New York service. In November 1923 she took over the Hamburg to New York route. In September 1924 she was put on the Liverpool - Philadelphia - Portland, Maine to end her career. In October the “Canopic” was sold for breaking up to T.W. Ward, and scrapped at Briton Ferry, South Wales.
