Photo of 8 racing I.O.D.s (International One Design sloops); approximately 5" x 8" black & white, in a wood frame. Caption taped to back of frame: "Full or Collapsed, Spinnakers Reveal Skippers' Skill and Luck in Catching Light Breeze off Mount Desert Island, Maine. One sail (third from left) droops while a rival, 100 feet directly ahead, balloons with a fortunate puff. Hand on sheet, a crew member (second yacht from right) jockeys his sail as he would a horse's reins. Compact and sturdy, these are International Class sloops all built in Norway before the war. Here the Northeast Harbor fleet nears the finish line after an eight mile race. Four years of war have not stopped such races. (Courtesy Main Development Commission)" No date.

Photograph of a sailboat at what looks like Isleford Dock. There is no date on the photo, but from the people on the boat it looks like it could be from the late 1800's early 1900's.

2017.391.2167Trailboard from sloop; Stanley cemetery post; powder horn
  • Object, Other Object, Collection

  • Vessels, Boat, Sailboat
Collection of three items. (A) Trailboard from a Friendship sloop. Letters visible: “BUILDER FRIENDSHIP, ME” on one side, and “WILBUR A. MORSE, BUILDER” on the other side. Carved with leaves and wavy line on both sides. Donor believes this could be the trailboard from one of Peter Richardson’s Friendship sloops. Richardson kept five Friendship sloops where Heliker LaHotan now stands (the old Stanley boatyard).(Trailboards are a pair of decorative boards at the bow of a sailboat, running from the figurehead back towards the hawsepipe.) (Measurements: 35"L x 6"H x 8.5"W) Note: On 10/14/16 Captain, historian, and boat builder Ralph Stanley visited GCIHS and commented on the trailboard. Ralph explained that donor's Friendship sloop, Old Baldy, was bought from its original owner; Kathy Newman owns it now. Jarvis Newman restored it. Stanley believes that the sloop that the trailboard came from was Little Flirt. (Apparently, the intended name was Alert, but William Doane Stanley had also named his boat Alert.) Eventually, Little Flirt had Sweet Pea painted on her stern. Whoever gave Lou Alert’s trailboard, likely found it in the field by Lewis Stanley’s boat yard (Ralph Stanley’s Uncle Lew) after the boat was destroyed and the ruins put in the field. He believes a full trailboard would have included the date made, 1904, and would have had an eagle’s head on the end. Ralph will check and see if Kathe Walton has the head. (B) Stanley cemetery wooden post. A broken post with carved top intact for exhibit purposes and for use as a model for new fence posts for the 2014 restored Stanley cemetery. (There are several more broken fence posts currently at the cemetery.) (Measurements: 41"L x 6" Diameter) (C) Powder horn from donor's family. Lovely, plain, unornamented horn which Donor used with her muzzle loading rifles and as a prop in a play. Has string attached by screw; two drilled holes; hollow. It was probably acquired in Ohio. No direct connection to GCI other than Lou Millar's use in her long and interesting life and it’s a neat artifact. (Measurements: 14.5"L x 3.5"H x 3"W)
