1926126909Isleboro ME: 1926. Boating off the Maine coast in 1926 Highly appealing photograph album documenting the Bertolet family's 1926 summer cruise off the Maine coast in the Elkhorn an 81 foot motor yacht built by George S. Lawley & Sons in 1906 captained at the time by Whitney B. Lowe. Of particular interest are the many identified images of some superb sail and motor yachts of the era including the Queen Mab Vagrant Vanitie Mahapa II Thelma Mariette Mary Rose Advance Resolute and the Eda Mina IV many of these designed and built by the celebrated naval architect Nathanael Greene Herreshoff 1848-1938 The typed label inside the front cover lists the fellow passengers and crew members accompanying W. M. Bertolet and includes his wife Helen sons Frederick and Jean alongside members of the Dives and Ferneau families and other friends. These crisply detailed and accomplished amateur photographs many of which catch boats in full sail offer a vivid snapshot of maritime adventures off the Maine coast during the 1920s. Wellington M. Bertolet 1881-1951 was a lawyer based in Reading Pennsylvania and City Solicitor; his father Benneville F. Bertolet was superintendent of the Mahanoy and Shamokin division of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. In the early years of the 20th century the Elkhorn was one of the most celebrated boats on the eastern seaboard. The Motor Boat magazine in 1907 mentioned it familiarly: "At Lawley's South Boston the birthplace of Elkhorn and Glenda and many other noted motorboats" Vol. 4 issue 6; Power Boat News described her in 1905 as "a beautiful piece of work throughout and will prove to be one of the attractions of the local power boat fleet. she is a twin-screw cruising launch. and owned by H. F. Hanson of the Boston Yacht Club. Elkhorn is the largest gasoline yacht that has ever been seen so far up the Penobscot and it is needless to say that she has attracted more than passing attention". Some significant yachts feature in this album many from the famous Herreshoff yard: the short high-sided Queen Mab captained by John "Coconut John" Christensen was the first American yacht to be riffed with a marconi sail on her mainmast; Vagrant a 110 footer was owned by Harold S. Vanderbilt commodore of the New York Yacht Club and under his captaincy winning both the Astor and King's Cups; the "handsome sloop" Vanitie Bennett Fisher "The Major Yachts" in Sailing Craft 1928 was the 1914 America's Cup winner in the J-class 75-foot yacht with revolutionary rig designed by William Starling Burgess; Thelma originally launched in 1897 and regarded as one of the finest creations of the Logan Brothers in New Zealand owned in 1926 by Walter D. Wilson; the 138 foot Mariette designed and built by Herreshoff in 1915; Mary Rose original hull number 954 built in 1925 for Harold W. Brooks as well as the Motor Yacht Mahapa II an 85-footer built by the Matthews Boat Company of Port Clinton Ohio. Perhaps the two most famous yachts identified in this album are the Advance and the Resolute: the "well known Advance. constructed by Anker and Jensen in Norway. arrived in America after a forty-eight day crossing. She immediately attracted great attention partly because her hull was the result of knowledge gained from racers in the small Universal Rule classes but more because of the rig between her masts. The faults of the gaff foresail and its topsail had been recognized for some time but it was Burgess who discarded it entirely and set what amounts to a large jib below and an over-sized 'Queen staysail' above" ibid. The Resolute defended the America's Cup in 1914 won it in 1920 and was sold in 1925 to E. Walter Clark of Philadelphia for racing. Many of these yachts are still sailing today including the Vagrant Thelma Mariette and Mary Rose. A particularly evocative album containing fine images of some of the most celebrated boats of the era under sail. "Maine's many islands providing almost continuous shelter for small sailing vessels together with a variety of scenic beauty and an abundance of good harbors have made the Maine coast a mecca for the yachtsman" Maine: A Guide 'Down East' 1937 p. 437.
