Nell Rebecca (Carroll) Thornton, Mrs. Seth Sprague Thornton, is leaving Southwest Harbor at Steamboat Wharf for her home in Houlton, Maine. Nell would have travelled by steamship from SWH by way of Bar Harbor to meet the Maine Central Railroad at Hancock Point. She would have ridden that train to Bangor (Northern Maine Junction) where she would have taken the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad to Houlton. The train trip from Bangor to Houlton probably took about 5 hours.
