Steamboat MAY ARCHER
MAY ARCHER, an 80 ft. steamboat, was built in 1906 at Cobb-Butler yard in Rockland, Maine, for Capt. Isaac Edson "Ed" Archibald of Thomaston. MAY ARCHER provided regular summer service to Monhegan for several years.. In the winter MAY ARCHER ran from Rockland to Northeast Harbor, Mount Desert. Capt. Archibald owned a number of steamers but eventually sold them to the Eastern Steamship Co. In this picture her stern shows her home port as Rockland.
