Clifton House hotel had been razed in 1939 and the Northeast Harbor Fleet purchased the dock for access to the water on the east side of town. They rebuilt the dock. “The new Clifton Dock was made an ‘official station’ of the Cruising Club of America and a fueling resource for boats of all kinds, and has had a marine supply store, which made it invaluable to yachts.” -"History of the Northeast Harbor Fleet" by Joseph L. Grant, published by Sawyer Cove Press, Seal Cove, ME, 2006, p. 85.

“Summer tourists who enter Mount Desert by the way of South-west Harbor are liable to receive very unfavorable impressions of this beautiful island. While approaching the shore, the most charming views are obtained, but after the first salutation their majesties the mountains become shy, and when the steamer reaches the pier they are wholly lost to sight. On landing, an ancient, fish-like smell is found to pervade the air around the dock in the vicinity of the lobster-boiling establishment, while the general aspect of the place is hardly inviting. By crossing the harbor to the Ocean House, the view of the mountains may indeed be regained, yet the prospect from the east side is tame.” - Rambles in Mount Desert With Sketches of Travel on The New-England Coast by B.F. DeCosta, p. 45 - 1871

Blue Hill Bay Light also known as "Sand Island Light" or "Eggemoggin Light" The station was established in 1857 and the present lighthouse built in 1857 – discontinued in 1933. The 1857 keeper’s house and the 1905 oil house are still standing. The original optic lens is a Fourth order Fresnel. "In the mid-nineteenth century, the town of Ellsworth, on the Union River north of Blue Hill Bay, was a thriving lumber port, and a lighthouse was needed to guide mariners into the southern entrance to the bay. Abraham Flye sold Green Island to the federal government for a light station in 1855 for $150, and the light was established on the west side of the island in 1857. The lighthouse also helped guide mariners into the eastern end of Eggemoggin Reach, which connects Penobscot Bay with Blue Hill Bay." - “Blue Hill Bay Light” by Jeremy D'Entremont, New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide, 1997-2009, Accessed online 12/27/12; http://lighthouse.cc/bluehillbay/history.html Keepers from the Southwest Harbor / Tremont area were: Howard P. Robbins (1837-1918), keeper from 1882 to 1888, and Roscoe G. Lopaus (1845-1912), keeper from 1889 to 1895.
