You guys know I do a lot of research for this project, right? I stumble across an overwhelming number of fascinating articles and photos that have nothing to do with the coast of MDI, and usually I just put them to one side and try to stay on topic, which right now would be the stretch between Seal Harbor and Bracy Cove. I’m working on it, really I am: I spent some quality time with the archives of the Northeast Harbor Library, and found all kinds of relevant stuff. I just could not resist sharing these gems from the newspaper archives with you.<\/p>\n

And this one sent Hannah Stevens (the library’s archivist) and myself off on a hunt to find the lost island town of Center:<\/p>\n

Which we eventually found on an enormous, hand-drawn map dated 1887:<\/p>\n

Center even had its own post office! Clearly I’ll be investigating this when I reach the Seal Cove area.<\/p>\n

This map, by the way, is about 6′ tall and filled with this kind of insane detail for the entire island. I spent a long time staring at it, and you’ll be seeing details of it in pretty much every post for the rest of my life<\/del> this project.<\/p>\n
