| Harry Alexander Ogden's famous drawing of the S.S. Cambria. The article begins: "In the landlocked waters of Southwest Harbor lies the now muchly talked of Cambria. A more adroit selection for a quiet berth could scarcely have been made; and when we came to take a glance at the trim and taut-looking vessel, we felt inclined to wonder, as with the fly in amber, "how the deuce she got there?” Southwest Harbor is about twenty-three miles from Ellsworth, Maine. To reach it, recalls those tortuous times when our forefathers ventured forth at rare intervals, their wills made, their flasks full, and their powder dry. The journey from New York to Boston, and from thence to Bangor, savors of the nineteenth century, but from Bangor to Ellsworth, and from Ellsworth to Southwest Harbor, speaks loudly of the eighteenth." |

Lynn & Sons Built at – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Built for – U.S. Revenue Service Named for – Mahoning creek and valley, Pennsylvania – 1898 for Levi Woodbury (1789-1851), U.S. Senator, Secretary of the Navy, Supreme Court Justice Power – steam engine with 2 oscillating cylinders; single 8’ screw Displacement – 350 tons Length – 138’ Beam – 26’6” Draft – 11’ Crew – 7 officers, 34 enlisted Armament – 1 x 30-pound Parrott rifle; 5 x 24-pound howitzers Number – Disposition – By 1913, Woodbury was not only the Coast Guard's oldest cutter, she was the oldest active-duty vessel in U.S. government service, as well as being the only ship to have seen active service in both the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War. Decommissioned by Coast Guard, July 19, 1915, Portland, Maine. Sold to Thomas Butler & Co., Boston, Massachusetts August 10, 1915. Woodbury's decommission ended 51 years with the Revenue Cutter Service, making her one of the longest serving cutters in the organization's history. After her final decommission in 1915, Levi Woodbury was placed into service as the merchant Laksco. She disappears from shipping records in 1932. “For more than fifty years the cutter “Levi Woodbury” was stationed on the coast of Maine, ranging between Portland and Eastport with regular calls at Rockland, Castine, and Machiasport. At first her hull was black, but later was painted white. She served from 1864 until 1916, when she was condemned by the government and sold. She finished her days enacting shipwreck scenes in silent movies.” - “Penobscot Bay, Mount Desert and Eastport Steamboat Album” by Allie Ryan, p. 68-69 – 1972 A revenue cutter did customs work, survey work and smuggling patrol. It functioned as the Coast Guard does today. - Ralph Stanley - 09/26/2007 In 1790, Alexander Hamilton proposed armed shipping vessels to enforce customs duties in the nations shipping ports. Congress appropriated $10,000 to maintain 10 revenue cutters to be placed under the charge of customs collectors. |

| 14235 | Placida - Motor Yacht |
|
| “Placida” was designed by the Henry J. Gielow Company and built by Bath Iron Works. She was one of five diesel-powered sister ships, built on speculation, and essentially to the same design, by the Bath Iron Works in the early Thirties, among them, “Placida,” “Sylvia” and Kenkora II. The over-all length of each ship was slightly more than 190 feet, with a displacement of 396 tons. “The Placida had two launch tenders. The starboard launch was the one usually used to take members of the owner's party (guests etc.) to and from shore facilities such as the Clifton Dock in Northeast Harbor or any other place where the yacht was unable to tie up to a pier. The port launch was used to take the crew ashore and bring supplies on board when needed. The port launch could also be used when the starboard launch needed engine repairs since the two launches were the same size. The starboard launch is the one used as the Northeast Harbor Fleet race committee boat. The race committee started boat races and recorded how they finished. This went on for a year or two immediately following World War II. I do not recall seeing the port launch after the War.” – Albie Neilson 09/12/11 “Placida” was purchased by the Navy on June 19, 1941 for use during WWII and converted for Naval service at Gibbs Gas Engine Co., Jacksonville, Florida. She was commissioned as “USS Ruby” (PY-21)on September 23, 1941 and decommissioned after the war on July 23, 1945 at Boston, Massachusetts. She was struck from the Naval Register on August 13, 1945 and transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal on December 26, December 1945. The once proud yacht was scrapped in 1957. Information compiled from several sources, among them: “Ruby (PY-21)” by Gary P. Priolo, NavSource Online: Patrol Yacht Archive , 2006, Accessed online 07/31/2011; http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/1321.htm “Placida” was laid down December 23, 1929 and launched May 17, 1930. She was bought by Henry Garner Haskell Sr. and delivered to him on July 1, 1930. She was a twin screw diesel seagoing yacht, 190 feet long with a 10 foot draft. Mr. Haskell and his family cruised in her extensively from Maine to Florida with Wilmington, Delaware as her home port. |

| 14105 | Raimondo Montecuccoli - Cruiser |
|
| "Raimondo Montecuccoli" - Captain Lamberto DeLebene Condottieri-class cruiser Displacement: 7,523 t (7,404 long tons) standard 8,994 t (8,852 long tons) full load Length: 182.2 m (597 ft 9 in) Beam: 16.6 m (54 ft 6 in) Draught: 5.6 m (18 ft 4 in) Propulsion: 2 shaft Belluzzo geared turbines 6 Yarrow boilers 106,000 hp (79,044 kW) Speed: 37 knots (43 mph; 69 km/h) Carried 2 aircraft 1 catapult 47 officers 86 petty officers 318 seamen 278 midshipmen "Raimondo Montecuccoli" was a Condottieri class light cruiser serving with the Italian Regia Marina during World War II. She survived the war and served in the post-war Marina Militare until 1964. Montecuccoli, which gives the name to its own sub-class, was part of the third group of Condottieri class light cruisers. They were larger and better protected than their predecessors. She was built by Ansaldo, Genoa, and was named after Raimondo Montecuccoli, a 17th century Italian general in Austrian service. Montecuccoli entered service in 1935 and was sent out to the Far-East in 1937 to protect Italian interests during the Sino-Japanese War, and returned home in November 1938 after being relieved by the Bartolomeo Colleoni. During the war she participated in the Battle of Punta Stilo and in the successful Battle of Pantelleria, where her guns disabled the British destroyer HMS Bedouin and set the large tanker SS Kentucky on fire. She was badly damaged by USAAF bombers in Naples on 4 December 1942, but having been repaired and just weeks before the armistice, she shelled without consequences a small Allied convoy off Palermo during the Allied invasion of Sicily. After the Armistice she was interned by the Allies and returned to Italy after the war to serve as a training cruiser until 1964. |

| 13649 | Salvage III |
|
| “Salvage III” was originally built at 82 tons, 66’ long, 4.5’ draft (light) and 24.5’ wide. Douglas lengthened her using the facilities at the Hinckley yard in Manset at the same time that he built their large self-powered steer able boat trailer in 1993-1994. “Salvage III” was lengthened by 16’ to 82’ and was 102 tons after lengthening. She carries 3 engines - all Detroit Diesels – two 871s and one 671 for operating the hydraulics and the generator. She carries a hydraulic derrick, and, among other things, uses the derrick to drive a “spud” (steel post) through a casing on the corner of the vessel to moor “Salvage III.” Douglas started building “Salvage III” at Southwest Boat Corporation on Clark Point Road, Southwest Harbor, in late October 1989 and launched her in August 1990. “Salvage III” was one of the last vessels built there as Southwest Boat closed in February 1990. |
