Spatial scales ranged from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Abundances of newly settled and older (sum of several cohorts) individuals were measured at different substrata, depths, sites within and among widely spaced regions, and along estuarine gradients. Temporal scales ranged from weekly censuses of new settlers within a season to inter-annual comparisons of settlement strengths. Over the scales considered here, only lobsters and rock crabs were consistently abundant in their early post- settlement stages. Compared to rock crabs, lobsters settled at lower densities but in speci®c habitats and over a narrower range of conditions. The abundance and distribution of older individuals of both species were, however, similar at all scales. This is consistent with previous observations that, by virtue of high fecundity, rock crabs have high rates of settlement, but do not discriminate among habitats, and suffer high levels of post-settlement mortality relative to lobsters.

  • 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.

We rely on your support to provide a wide range of programs. An easy way to help is to name the Mission as benefi ciary of an IRA, life insurance policy, or investment account by simply notifying your account manager of your wishes. Some individuals establish life insurance policies with the intent of leaving the Mission a larger sum at the end of their lives than they would be able to contribute during their lifetimes. Read more about the many ways you can help support the work of the Maine Sea Coast Mission on page 21. Maine Sea Coast Mission LEFT: PATSY E. FOGARTY, CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS COVER: HALFWAY ROCK LIGHT A Task of Greater Magnitude… “To sail a sloop in a parish extending from Kittery Point to Quoddy Head, along the broken coast of Maine, in all kinds of weather, is not a small undertaking. To enter the coves and harbors, to call on the families on isolated islands, to visit the lightkeepers and the lifesaving stations, is a task of greater magnitude.” — First Annual Report, Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society, 1906 Dear Friends, This year, the Maine Sea Coast Mission celebrates its 110th birthday. We were organized on July 11 and incorporated on October 13, 1905. Since its beginning, the Mission’s goals have been far reaching.

  • The Shatter Zone
    The Shatter Zone: A Physical Borderland from 420 Million Years Ago to Present and Conceptual Borderland from 1837 to Present by Duane Braun Today geologists recognize that the shatter zone on Mount Desert Island marks the edge of a large volcanic caldera that erupted 420 million years ago. This article will trace the evolution in geologic thinking about the shatter zone from 1837 to present. The shatter zone is an area where blocks of various types of rock are surrounded by light colored Cadillac Mountain granite (photo below). Granite is Blocks of rusty colored Bar Harbor Formation and gray gabbro surrounded by lighter gray Cadillac Mountain granite at the east side of Sand Beach. Photograph by the author This article is an offshoot of a 2011-2016 project to revise the bedrock geology map and surficial/glacial geology map of Mount Desert Island, to be published by the Maine Geologic Survey in a free digital format, and to produce a new geologic guidebook for Mount Desert Island, to be published in the summer of 2016. A number of Acadia National Park staff and students of our Acadia Senior College “Geology of Mount Desert Island” course have encouraged us to do this. 45 an igneous rock (crystalized from magma) composed mostly of pink potassium feldspar and gray quartz minerals (a felsic rock). The blocks of rock in the granite are mostly rusty red sea floor sandstones from the Bar Harbor Formation. Other blocks are dark colored gabbro, an igneous rock composed of gray calcium feldspar and iron-rich dark gray-green hornblende and pyroxene minerals (a mafic rock).

  • Sargent House: a Woman's Gift to the Outer Island Girls of Down East Maine Rosamond S
    72 Sargent House: A Woman's Gift to the Outer Island Girls of Down East Maine Rosamond S. Rea Created in 1941 as housing for outer island girls, thereby enabling them to live in Bar H arbor and attend high school, Sargent House was a place long wished for by M aine Sea Coast Missionary Society staff. The generosity of a woman from the Mount Desert Island summer colony made it possible. Sargent House only operated for five years, from 1941 to 1945, but it had a long-lasting impact, providing the inspiration for legislation that would ensure educational opportunities for children li ving in remote parts of Maine. The setting is World War II Bar H arbor, a place very different from the Bar H arbor of today. The town in 194 1 was comprised of a myriad of businesses that vanished in the fo ll owing decades . It supported several grocery stores ranging in size from corner markets to an LG.A.; choices of shoe, clothing, furniture, and hardware stores; pharmacies with soda fountains; novelty stores; and eateries of all sizes. For those who could afford automobiles-and many could not-the lates t models of Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, C hrysler, and Plymouth were available from local dealerships. Ice for iceboxes, stoves, refrigerators, and other electrical appliances could be had locally; the choice of plumbers and electricians to install and service them was plentiful. There were banks, seasonal hotels, and two movie thea ters-one with a bowling alley in the base ment. There was a Bar H arbor Hospital for Animals and Mount Desert Island Hospital for everyone else.

  • 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.

  • K. Historical and Archaeological Resources
    K. HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES 1. Purpose Historical and archaeological resources are important not only for their role in Bucksport’s history, but also for their present-day value. Historic buildings and sites add to the town’s quality of life and their presence helps maintain property values. The purpose of this section is: a. to present a brief history of the town; b. to describe Bucksport’s historical and archaeological resources; c. to assess the threats to these resources; and d. to assess the effectiveness of existing measures to protect and preserve these resources. 2. Key Findings and Issues While there were no properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, there were nine such properties listed in 2001. In 2000 the Maine Historic Preservation Commission conducted a survey of village area to assess the potential of creating an historic district. A comprehensive survey has not been done of other parts of town. 3. Historical Background Long before Europeans discovered the coast of Maine, Indians were living in this area. Evidence of them has been found in the form of shell heaps in many coastal towns, including Deer Isle, Brooksville, and Castine. Indian burial grounds have been excavated near Bucksport on the northern side of Alamoosook Lake and along the Narramissic River. Historians speculate that Andre Thevit, a Catholic priest from France, sailed in Penobscot Bay in 1556, but the extent of his voyage is not known. The first Englishman to visit the area was Martin Pring in 1603. The Frenchman, Samuel de Champlain, followed him in 1604.
