One of 9 photographs of the Northeast Harbor area taken in the 1880's during encampments by the Champlain Society. "This picture was taken from the roadway before the road was cut down into the hillside, thus the camera height above the water would place today's photographer about six feet in the air." Tom Eliot

One of 9 photographs of the Northeast Harbor area taken in the 1880's during encampments by the Champlain Society. "This photo resolves arguments about whether or not the field west of the pond was settled. Frank Callahan was a farmer and blacksmith whose smithy stood out nearer the seawall. This caption and photo are more recent than the others. In the 1880's there was no need to distinguish between this pond and the one one the west side of the island because the other was called 'Great Pond.'" Tom Eliot
