  • Sabino Worksheet 1
    Worksheet 1: Perspectives Steamship Sabino: Modestly Serving the Community Original content by: Kate O’Mara Was Sabino dirty and smelly, or was she smooth and pleasant to ride in the 1950s? Evaluate each of these sources for reliability and draw a conclusion about how people perceived the Sabino in the 1950s and the present. This activity is inspired by Stanford History Education Group’s Evaluating Sources lesson.1 Is the source an eyewitness? How does being an eyewitness shape the sources validity? Is the source from the time period, or is it a memory? How do these views of the Sabino reflect changing technology? When would a boat like Sabino seem like a new invention: exciting to ride and making lives better? During the 1900s diesel engines became more popular because they were more efficient, and required fewer crew members. Diesel engines were noisier but did not have the thick black smoke. How would this change in technology effect visitor’s views of Sabino in the 1950s? Today? 1. “People come to Portland just to ride the Sabino because of her steam power.... Many say they prefer it to Diesel power because it is smoother. Some confess they go to sleep. And if it happens to be cold going down the bay, they like to move to the enclosed lower deck where the boilers provide warmth”-- Portland Press Herald, Portland Maine, September 4, 1957.2 2. "The quiet comfort of the steam engine made Sabino a favorite of the passengers on the all- day Bailey run." From a 1974 book published in 1974 by David Dodge, Gainor R.

  • Getting Here from There: Steamboat Travel to Mount Desert Island
    The steamer Cimbria at So mesvi lle. Stereopticon view courtesy oft he M aine Historic Preservation Commission Getting Here from There: Steamboat Travel to Mount Desert Island David W. Granston III For the first hundred and fifty years after Mount Desert Island was permanently settled, the preferred highway was the ocean. While coasting vessels and pinky schooners reigned supreme in the eighteenth century, by the turn of the nineteen th, change was afoot. Following European advances in steam technology and the work of Robert Fulton in America, a new mode of passenger transportation was introduced to the United States, one that revolutionized access to Mount Desert Island. In May 1824, the Kennebec Steam Navigation Company unveiled Maine's first steamship at Bath. Costing $13,000, the steamer Maine was created by joining two eighty-foot schooner hulls together by means of a central paddle wheel. Leaving Bath, the Maine connected with the Patent, which ran to Boston, providing passengers with easy access to distant cities. From Bath, the Maine stopped at many coastal communities, including Boothbay Harbor, Owls Head, Camden, Belfast, Sedgwick, the Cranberry Isles, and points Down East. The Maine was soon joined by other steamers, all of which shared a similar weakness: while sailing vessels were afforded large deck space for cargo, early steamboats such as the Maine and the Patent also required space for their fuel, cordwood, which was far more abundant in Maine than coal. One early steamboat, the Bangor, which was launched in 1834 to run between Bangor and Boston, is said to have consumed twenty-five cords of wood per trip, requiring 3,200 cubic feet of space for fuel storage alone.

Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are accumulated in several matrices of the aquatic environments and have several negative effects on the organisms [1] Most lipophilic anthropogenic organics tend to be associated to the suspended particles in the water column due to their low solubility and accumulate in the sediments [2]. They also accumulate in fish and shell fish especially in mussels and may lead to serious human health hazards [3]. In this study, the surface sediments and mussels were collected from and transplanted mussels and passive samplers (SPMDs and butyl rubber sorbents; BRs) were deployed to the five sites in the İstanbul Strait and Marmara Sea. The samples were then analyzed for PAHs, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). The results of the analysis for several matrices were compared. The previous monitoring studies carried out in the İstanbul Strait ecosystem showed that it was contaminated by those pollutants [4,5]. The Strait is a part of the Turkish Strait system connecting the Black Sea to the Medditerranean and one of the busiest waterways in the world.
