Little Cranberry Island in 1870 and the 1880S
National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Life on an Island: Early Settlers off the Rock-Bound Coast of Maine Life on an Island: Early Settlers off the Rock-Bound Coast of Maine (Islesford Historical Museum, 1969, Acadia National Park) (The Blue Duck, 1916, Acadia National Park) Off the jagged, rocky coast of Maine lie approximately 5,000 islands ranging in size from ledge outcroppings to the 80,000 acre Mount Desert Island. During the mid-18th century many of these islands began to be inhabited by settlers eager to take advantage of this interface between land and sea. National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Life on an Island: Early Settlers off the Rock-Bound Coast of Maine Living on an island was not easy, however. The granite islands have a very thin layer of topsoil that is usually highly acidic due to the spruce forests dominating the coastal vegetation. Weather conditions are harsh. Summers are often cool with periods of fog and rain, and winters--although milder along the coast than inland--bring pounding storms with 60-mile-per-hour winds and waves 20 to 25 feet high. Since all trading, freight- shipping, and transportation was by water, such conditions could isolate islanders for long periods of time. On a calm day, the two-and-one-half-mile boat trip from Mount Desert Island to Little Cranberry Island takes approximately 20 minutes. As the boat winds through the fishing boats in the protected harbor and approaches the dock, two buildings command the eye's attention. -

The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles …And Other Colorful Characters
The Stanleys of Cranberry Isles …and Other Colorful Characters By Ralph Warren Stanley Edited by Charlotte R. Morrill Southwest Harbor Public Library 338 Main Street Post Office Box 157 Southwest Harbor, Maine 04679-0157 207-244-7065 Southwest Harbor Public Library SWHPL Digital Archive Southwest Harbor Public Library Imprint Number Three July 2017 Latest Update: 10/22/17 © Ralph Warren Stanley Dedicated to my grandmother, Celestia Gertrude (Dix) Robinson who instilled in me interest in the lives and accomplishments of my ancestors, relatives and others that I knew, how-be-it, noble, tragic or humorous. My father once told me that a man could never have had a better mother-in law and I can say that a boy could never have had a better grandmother. Introduction Albie Neilson, knowing that I knew a lot about the Stanley family, really inspired me to write this story. Albie was intrigued by the difference in the way of life he experienced growing up as a child at home as opposed to the way of life at Mount Desert Island and Cranberry Island. It was two different cultures coming together and today both are fast disappearing. My father, Chester Stanley, and his uncle, Lewis Stanley, who sailed the boats for the Neilson family and taught them ways of the sea and how to sail, greatly influenced Albie’s life as well as his brothers and no doubt a lot of other summer children around the Rock End Dock. As a child, I was interested in history and genealogy and through the years I had gathered a lot of stories.
