This photograph was taken before the Manset shore was filled in. – According to Ralph Warren Stanley (1929-2021), the White boat hauled up on shore in front of the William Spurling Newman house at 102 Shore Road, Map 17 – Lot 100 – was probably built by Leslie “Les” M. Rice (1883-1966) on Great Cranberry Island for William “Uncle Jimmy” Doane Stanley (1855-1950). She was built as a double ender. Someone bought her and put a square stern on her. Work was slow at Hinckleys for awhile so Bill Dunham (Wilfred Manson Dunham (1918-2001) and Lewis Tapley (Lewis Merton Tapley (1916-1985) bought her and went fishing, though not for long. Work picked up at the Hinckley yard soon afterward. The vessel was then bought by Abner W. Lunt (1908-1975), then she was bought by Luther C. Faulkingham (1901-1993) of Prospect Harbor, where she was the last time Ralph saw her. The wharf building with the false front was the building that Francis “Frank” Thompson Chalmers Sr. (1893-1985), F. Dwight Perkins (1902-1981) and Merton S. Alley (1904-1985) had a car dealership in. Almon Frank Ramsdell Sr’s (1873-1946) garage was there later. Hinckley may have owned the building when this picture was taken. James “Jim” M. Willis (1919-2006) later ran “The Boathouse” there.

  • Clark the Printer, Ellsworth
  • Southwest Harbor, Manset
"Clark the Printer" was owned by Walter J. Clark Jr. (1882-1942) "An ingenious ability that has enabled him to surmount all obstacles has brought Walter J. Clark, Jr., to the position of one of the leaders in the business life of Ellsworth. Mr. Clark operates the modern and efficient printing shop at No. 360 Water Street, conducting the business under the name of Clark the Printer. His advance has been steady and sure ever since the early days in the business when the first printing press he owned was a crude, wooden affair made by himself. Walter J. Clark, Jr., received his education in the local public schools and after completing his schooling entered the printing business independently in 1903. His creative ability and determination to succeed were his greatest assets. He carried on his trade with the aid of his personally constructed press until he prospered sufficiently to afford the purchase of a small Kelsey Press, which he installed and used for about a year. Business increased rapidly and he bought a small Liberty Press and later added a Gordon Press continuing to add new equipment and machinery to accommodate the ever increasing demands for his work…" – “Maine Biographies” by Harrie B. Coe, Volume I, published by Clearfield."
