11734Fish Factory Workers in Southwest Harbor with Horse Mackerel and Halibut

  • Worth
  • 1891
  • Southwest Harbor
"The catch. probably tuna (called horse mackerel locally), has arrived at the packing house, having been dressed on board vessel. Now it is up to this hardy packing crew to wash these monstrous fish before packing them for shipment to Boston. Except for Asian markets, which existed mostly in large cities, there were few buyers for this product. At other times this packing house was filled with the more predominant fish of the day: hake, cod, haddock, and mackerel. Crews would wash the fish, lather them with salt, and pack them in ice in the tall barrels shown at rear for shipment to Gloucester or Boston. Only a few dealers in Manset, such as the Parkers, specialized in halibut, as it had to be shipped fresh on ice. Mackerel was the only product that had to be inspected once it arrived in Gloucester. As this list suggests, local fisheries processed a variety of fish. The local fishermen would head out, from spring through fall, following the schools, returning with whatever the sea would offer, and putting extra change in their pockets." – Text accompanying this photograph in “Mount Desert Island - Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor” by Earle G. Shettleworth Jr. and Lydia B. Vandenbergh - Images of America Series, 2001. p. 43.

  • Southwest Harbor
On April 19, 1893 the Cooper's son, Joseph Walter Cooper, married Nellie Sue Inman, daughter of Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his first wife, Nancy Jane Dick. Nellie's father, Samuel Andrew Martin Inman was the owner of S.M. Inman & Co., one of the largest dealers in cotton in the world, with several branch offices in different parts of the South. He was one of the organizers and a director of the Southern Railway, the yards of which in Atlanta are named for him and was a major Georgian philanthropist. Nellie's brother, Henry Arthur Inman (1869-after 1920) and his wife, Roberta Sutherland Crew built their cottage, "Sutherland" now "Heeltap" at 16 Kinfolk Lane, Southwest Harbor, in 1901. Their son, Arthur Crew Inman (1895-1963) is notorious for having written the "Inman Diaries." On March 28, 1894 Samuel Andrew Martin Inman and his recently acquired second wife, Mildred (McPheeters) Inman (1867-1946), gave a lavish reception at their home in Atlanta, Georgia, for their daughter Nellie and her mother in law, Emma Jane Cooper. This fulsome description of the party, published in "The Atlanta Constitution" on March 29, 1894 illustrates the world inhabited by the Cooper and Inman families.
