Deer Isle, a coastal town in Penobscot Bay, was settled by farmers
and mariners in the 1760s after the end of the French and Indian
War. People, freight, and mail came by water to the secluded island
where mackerel and lobster fishing were the mainstays of the
island's economy. In the late 19th century, granite from booming
Stonington quarries was shipped by boat. Summer visitors began
arriving by the boatload to rusticate in gracious inns and seasonal
cottages. These became the subjects of vintage postcards, many
created by local photographers capturing the views of harbors and
towns, rural roads and bridges, masts of the great sailing vessels,
and derricks of the large quarries.
