Boat. Rowboat or skiff made ca. 1890. White with red trim. (The boat is on the right in this 2016 photo showing two rowboats. The other images are from June 2010 after GCIHS was given the boat and before it was repainted.) Per Willie Granston (GHMM): "used to have a name on the stern (Cat's Miow) and was given to the Historical Society by a Northeast Harbor family who had it in the basement of their cottage (the Brzezinski family)... I had it in an exhibit in Northeast Harbor (The Power of the Oar - Summer 2010), and it looked really really nice. We spent a lot of time cleaning it and washing it... It is almost undoubtedly a Chummy Spurling skiff as I lined it up with a known Spurling and measured the two side by side and all the dimensions matched, down to the size, number, and spacing of the ribs.."

The woman on the left could be Preble's second wife, Jane Matilda Hadlock Sanford Preble (1826-1898). The house was built by Captain Samuel Hadlock, Jr. and Samuel Spurling ca. 1827, and was occupied by Hadlocks and Prebles related through marriage or blood for its first century. The house and property have expanded and contracted over the course of its nearly 200 years. It was restored in the late 1940s and stands today as one of the largest and most historic homes on Great Cranberry Island. It was the boyhood home of Civil War General Andrew Barclay Spurling who was born across the street in the Freeman house.
