  • 1902 c.

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 Hugh C. Leighton Company, Portland, Maine
  • 1950 PM
“This vessel was built as a U. S. Navy hospital ship, “The Comfort,” and served in the Pacific during World War II and later served as a U. S. Army transport to bring the troops back home. Reportedly the nurses’ lounge of the vessel had once been hit by a kamikaze in Okinawa. When the Maine Maritime Academy Students went to sea in her as “The State of Maine,” the three padded cells in the former psycho ward of the hospital ship, were still in place. Philip Rich [Philip Clifton Rich (1941-)], who attended the Academy from 1959-1962, bunked in the former isolation ward, which held only five or six cadets, during his junior year and remembers that the plumbing fixtures of the former psycho ward had levers, not regular handles. They used the padded cells on the second deck as storages closets to supplement the cadets’ small storage lockers.” – Meredith Hutchins 01/25/12

"“The Maine Central fleet expanded quickly from the turn of the century until 1913. “Pemaquid” was the first of the new ships, having been purchased from the Long Island Railroad in 1901. She was a 132-foot steel-hilled single-screw steamer built in 1893 by Neafie and Levy of Philadelphia, with the distinction of being the last of the fleet to carry the Maine Central flag… Maine Central’s ships were sold off one by one until by 1931 the reliable “Pemaquid”, which during her thirty years with the railroad was used year-round, filling in for the seasonal vessels on the Mt. Desert run, was the only ship left. She was sold south that year and eventually was re-engined with a diesel. She lasted a long time, operating in the New York area into the 1960’s. The Eastern [Steamship Lines] threw in the towel three years later, in 1934. Hereafter the Maine trains would stop in Ellsworth, and Mt. Desert Ferry, the great bustling rail and steamboat facility, would fall silent.” - Mount Desert - An Informal History Edited by Gunnar Hansen, Maritime Transportation section written by Peter B. Bell, p. 166-167, 169 - 1989 ""The steamer ""Pemaquid"" was built in 1893 as the ""Long Island."" Shortly after the turn of the century, she was placed in service on the Maine coast by the Maine Central Railroad. The vessel left Maine in 1931. [She operated on the Hudson River and last ran] as a dieselized ferry to Block Island."" - ""Steamboats On The Hudson River"" by William H. Ewen, Jr., Arcadia Publishing, May 30, 2011, p. 89."
