Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mount Desert Widow: Genealogy of the Gamble Family of Maine From the First Landing on the Coast of Mount Desert Down to the Present Day, Forming Part of More Than One Hundred Families in Maine
The crew and passengers, as they go from the wreck find to the westward - stretching from Bass Harbor Head across to Great Gott an apparent line of breakers - a tidal feature that has since frightened every new navigator of those waters and is a fitting introduc tion to the mysterious and fascinating Mt. Desert. In fear of this line of tur bulent waters, they hug the shore, and half way between the Nubbles and the Head they enter through a narrow opening to the pleasant and safe haven of Ship Harbor. The story of their privation and final rescue can best be presented in the historic words of Cyrus Eaton, the historian.
