  • Image, Photograph
  • Structures, Other Structures, Boat Shop
This boat shop, built behind the owner's house, complete with two elegant bird houses, could have belonged to any one of many boat builders on and around Mount Desert and its surrounding islands or perhaps have been somewhere else in Maine. It is typical of the way mechanization crept into the boat building and servicing industry. The sign on the roof of the shop says, "Hartford Marine Gas Engines For Sale."
