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.

Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh are standing at the side of Lockheed Vega Model 5 Executive NC395H airplane while stopping at Bolling Field, Washington, D.C. en route to South America. The five-place monoplane was manufactured during August 1929 by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California. It left the factory with a Pratt & Whitney Wasp B engine (S/N 1815) of 450 HP. The aircraft was loaned to Col. Lindbergh by Morgan Belmont (1892–1953), the son of August Belmont Jr. who built the Belmont Park Racetrack in New York, for Lindbergh’s 7000 mile South American trip. The Lindberghs took off from Bolling Field, the first stop on their trip (which had begun at Roosevelt Field on Long Island) on September 18, 1929. The Lockheed Vega model was designed by John Knudsen Northrop (1895-1981) and Gerard Freebairn Vultee (1900-1938) and manufactured by Lockheed Aircraft Limited and first flown on July 4, 1927. Lockheed delivered the Vega 5 in 1929."
