2023.651.3141Lifeboat Rations
  • Object, Containers
  • Other, Culinary
Rations would have been stored in the lifeboat’s emergency kit. This one contains 8oz of dried biscuits. If a boat sunk in the middle of the Atlantic it could be many days before any lifeboats were found, so access to some food could be vital for survival.

2018.417.2280Base and spinning wheel head for a 'walking' or 'great' spinning wheel
  • Object, Spinning Wheel
  • Other, Textiles
Three-legged base for a 'walking' or 'great' spinning wheel. Base was originally from the attic of the Scudder house on the north shore of Islesford. Head is termed a 'minor' head made of wood and iron; it came from the donor's wheel in Sullivan, Maine. Donor is a spinner and weaver, and lectures about heritage textiles. She noticed GCIHS had a wheel with no base in collection (GCIHS 2015.312.2072). The two parts married up perfectly. Wheel dates to ca. 1880s; Shakers made this type of great wheel.

2016.373.1929Rug made by Cora Spurling Richardson Chapman
  • Object, Furnishings, Rug
  • Other, Textiles
Rug, braided with hooked center. Concentric circles of brown, black, blue, tan, red, green, orange, and rose; the center is a hooked oblong, bordered in blue, with a depiction of a full basket of red, yellow, white, and tan flowers; on the reverse side, the central hooked area is covered with a green fabric protective patch. Donor Charlotte Harlan wrote 9/21/2016 and 10/8/16: "That rug belonged to my Aunt Virginia. She was my mother's youngest sister, my grandfather Charles Henry Bulger's daughter. We believe that the rug was made by Aunt Cora [Cora Spurling Richardson Chapman b. July 3, 1863], who lived in the house where the Dowlings live now. My mother spoke of her Aunt Cora quite often. She made a lot of braided rugs.

2016.359.2124Six small hooked rugs
  • Object, Furnishings, Rug
  • Other, Textiles
Rugs. A collection of six small hooked rugs of various shapes, fabrics, sizes, and patterns - likely early 20th century and made locally. Donor's sister-in-law, Holly Hartley, a summer resident in the house on Preble Cove, GCI, that donor now owns and where the rugs were used recalls: "The two worn, rectangular rugs are very familiar to me. I'm certain that my grandmother collected them, as I am sure they were in the house from the time I first came to Cranberry in 1946 at 2-years-old. The other two are not familiar to me. They seem a different aesthetic entirely - multiple types of flowers, lots of different colors, the use of shading. I wonder whether or not my Mother or my sister Vicky collected them. I know my grandmother had braided rugs that were made by Margie Phippen and her sister Hilde Spurling and their mother, Pink Bulger. No 6 is very familiar to me and I also think no 5 was in the house for a long time. I am now asking myself their locations in the house. I know we walked on them and I think they were in hallways and bedrooms. I still don't know the artist but I think these two are among the older ones." See photographs of backs and fronts of each rug.

Rug (A) is oval shaped, brightly colored reds, blues, purples, greys 46" long by 32.5" wide. Rug (B) is oval shaped, black and tan overall 56" long x 39" wide. There is a story that when the Duren house caught fire (19xx?), it was Addie's rags and rug-making materials stored in the attic that kept the fire from spreading rapidly through whole house. Pot holder (C) has crocheted edges with dancing girl and pink backing.
