Among summer boarding houses in Boothbay, not already mentioned, are those of James A. Reed, Charles Dodge and Andrew E. Perkins, Pleasant Cove, and Chester C. Knight, Boothbay Center. While the number and amount of non-resi- dent taxpayers is not an exact criterion by which to judge of the extent and value of the summer interests about our shores, it still is strongly indicative. In 1905 there were 218 non- resident property owners in Boothbay, 279 in Southport and 177 in Boothbay Harbor.
CARRYING COMPANIES.
Just previous to the Civil War a side wheel steamer, the T. F. Seeker, ran for two seasons between Portland and Booth- bay Harbor. Her landings were at the wharves of C. & W. Fisher, west side, and Capt. Allen Lewis, east side. Part of the stock in this boat was owned here, but more largely in Portland. Her measurement was about 200 tons. Previous to 1865, with this exception, all water travel in and out of Boothbay Harbor, or other places about Boothbay shores, was by sailing vessels or dories. The latter were used principally for reaching Bath by water. Many of our citizens, and not by any means the oldest among them, have made the trip to Bath in that way frequently in their earlier years. Samuel Donnell followed dory transportation of passengers between Bath and Boothbay for many years before the advent of steam over the route. Capt. Gilman A. Low, now of Boothbay Harbor, but

a former resident of Georgetown, is entitled to credit as the first mover in the direction of putting on steam transportation. Shortly before 1865 he, as a young man, formulated the plan and enlisted the efforts and capital of William H. McClellan, a merchant of Bath, in the enterprise. The steamer Spray was the result, a boat sixty feet long with a capacity for seventy - five passengers. She went on the route in 1865, making daily trips between Boothbay and Bath.
The Eastern Steamboat Company was chartered in 1868 and organized in 1869 with Samuel D. Bailey, of Bath, as its first president. In the opening of 1870 the steamer Sasanoa, a boat eighty-six feet in length, was built, and that year two trips daily were run during summer. The inauguration of Boothbay Harbor, with the islands and country about, as a summer resort takes its date that year. In the fall and winter of 1871-72 daily winter service between Boothbay and Wis- casset was commenced and has continued to the present. The mail route over this line was established in 1873, which has been continuous since. Early in 1873 the steamer Samoset was built, a boat seventy-one feet long. That and the Sasanoa then for a time did the business over the route, for in February, that year, the old Spray was sold to T. W. Allen & Son, Den- nysville, Me. The steamer Sebenoa was built in 1880 and sold to the Maine Central Railroad in January, 1884; she was a boat 100 feet in length. The year of that sale the Wiwurna was built to take the place of the Sebenoa. This latest addi- tion to the line was 110 feet long, 98 tons, and is still in ser- vice. In September, 1887, the Sasanoa was sold to New York parties and taken to Staten Island. The following spring the steamer Nahanada, 100 feet long, 91 tons, was built and put upon the route. In 1890 the Winter Harbor was purchased and the summer trips of the company were extended to Line- kin's Bay, South Bristol and Pemaquid Harbor. Early in 1894 the steamer Samoset was rebuilt and enlarged, the name being changed to Damarin, 55 tons. Since that the steamer Island Belle, 153 tons, has been purchased and put upon the line.
On October 8, 1901, the Eastern Steamship Company was incorporated and comprised what had been the Boston and
422
HISTORY OF BOOTHBAY.
Bangor Steamship Company, Portland Steamship Company, International Steamship Company, Kennebec Steamboat Com- pany and Eastern Steamboat Company. In March, 1905, they took over the Rockland, Blue Hill and Ellsworth Steamboat Company. These former lines are now known as divisions of the present company and are constituted as follows :
Bangor Division, 234 miles, two boats, 3,700 tons aggre- gate.
Portland Division, 110 miles, two boats, 6,065 tons.
Mount Desert Division, 111 miles, four boats, 1,078 tons. International Division, 330 miles, three boats, 7,265 tons. Kennebec Division, 150 miles, two boats, 3,650 tons.
Boothbay Division, 33 miles, four boats, Wiwurna, Nahan- ada, Island Belle, Damarin, 397 tons.
This gives the company, as at present equipped, seventeen boats, with an aggregate tonnage of 22,355 and aggregate mile- age of 968. Connection at Bath with the Kennebec Division is made. The service at present includes three or four round trips between Boothbay Harbor and Bath daily in summer, two in spring and fall, and from about December 20th, average, to March 20th all are discontinued and one round trip daily to Wiscasset is made.
Previous to 1887 the larger part of the general freight to Boothbay Harbor from Portland was brought by the schooner Mary Elizabeth, Capt. George Dunton. Other schooners plied between Portland and East Boothbay and the other trading points about the shore. That year Capt. Alfred Race, East Boothbay, organized the Portland and Boothbay Steamboat Company and purchased the steamer Enterprise, 184 tons measurement, 150 tons freight capacity, carrying 300 passen- gers. In 1895 general repairs were made adding much to its value and convenience for public service. This boat makes its terminal points Portland and East Boothbay, touching at Booth- bay Harbor and South Bristol, and during the season at Squir- rel and Heron Islands. The service is tri-weekly and since its first appearance on the line it has received the greater part of the general freights for the entire locality. Captain Race has been master since establishment.
In 1895 the Maine Coast Navigation Company was incor-

porated and commenced business by putting on a newly-built steamer, the Salacia. Capt. O. C. Oliver was the moving spirit in this undertaking and was master of the boat and pres- ident of the company. A more extended business and other boats were at first contemplated, but after some two or three seasons' trial, including several changes of service, the steamer was sold and went to Florida and the company closed its affairs.
About or soon after 1880 the steamer Islander, Capt. Charles C. Thompson, Southport, went on the route summers between Gardiner and Boothbay Harbor, touching at all the resort landings between. This boat plied over its route about twenty years when it was sold to Florida parties.
The City of Gardiner commenced before 1895, over the same line of travel, at first tri-weekly, but for several recent years daily, during the season, and is still on the route.
A new line commenced April 15, 1896, known as the Port- land and Rockland Steamboat Company, Capt. I. E. Archibald. The above cities are its terminal points. Its regular stations between are Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor, Round Pond, Friendship, Port Clyde and Tenant's Harbor, with a few additional landings in summer. The service of this line com- menced with the steamer Silver Star, followed by the Merry- coneag, a larger boat, and in 1902 by a new steamer, the Mineola, and now by the Monhegan. This line has been extended to points in Hancock County and apparently enjoys a profitable carrying trade. It certainly fills a long-felt want in both freight and travel.
That portion of Boothbay bordering on the Damariscotta has been greatly convened for three or four years last past by the Damariscotta Steamboat Company, E. P. Gamage, mana- ger, which begins about June 1st each year, running until late in autumn, between Christmas Cove and Damariscotta, touch- ing at Heron Island, South Bristol, East Boothbay, Clark's Cove and Poole's Landing, making two round trips daily dur- ing the busy season.
CHAPTER XXV. THE CIVIL WAR.
T HE news of the surrender of Fort Sumter reached our towns on the morning of April 15, 1861. Six States had already seceded and on February 18th, preceding, Jefferson Davis had been inaugurated President of the Confed- eracy. These preliminary acts had inflamed the public mind ; the last act fired it. The next news flashed over the country was the call of President Lincoln that day for 75,000 troops. Four days later the Sixth Mass. Regiment was attacked in Baltimore by a mob with rebel tendencies as it was hurrying through that city for the defense of the National Capital.
The wildest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the North, and nowhere was it more intense and true than in the State of Maine ; but it is only our province to present what can be gathered of the part that was played by Boothbay and South- port, that future generations descending from this population may know what their ancestors contributed to that mighty conflict. Men and women, boys and girls, almost universally wore the national colors. Bits of red, white and blue appeared everywhere and on all occasions. Public meetings were almost universally held. The first in Boothbay was at the East Booth- bay schoolhouse, where many young men stepped forward and signed a pledge to go to the front and defend the Government. This was immediately followed by another meeting, in the old Union Church at Boothbay Center, of similar purpose and result. The ladies of the town were not less patriotic than the men, and they actively participated on nearly every public occasion. But these gatherings, which occurred throughout the North, were simply the expressions of National feeling. The crisis first produced this spontaneous outburst of indigna- tion and patriotism combined, and then settled down to a legal, formal, systematic effort to stamp out treason in the land. Town action follows.

THE CIVIL WAR.
At a special meeting called on May 6, 1861, Charles Car- lisle, moderator, the following article was presented :
"To see what sum of money the town will raise to pay those volunteers in their country's service and provide for the fami- lies of those who may need assistance."
The action of the town follows :
"Voted to pay volunteers $25 per month if it can legally be done.
"Voted to raise $2,000 for the support of the families of those who volunteer in their country's service if needed.
" Voted to choose a committee of five to wait on the fami- lies of those who volunteer and see what assistance is needed."
Allen Lewis, Robert Montgomery, Benjamin Reed, William Carlisle and Samuel K. Hilton were chosen a committee.
This committee was continued in 1862.
At a special meeting July 26, 1862 :
"Voted to pay each volunteer $100 when mustered into the United States service, providing the town's quota is made up of volunteers, and the selectmen be authorized to borrow $3,000 to pay the volunteers if necessary.
"Voted that the town appoint a committee to procure the names of residents of Boothbay who are, or have been, or shall be in the army or navy during the war. The same to be called the roll of honor and to be recorded as such in the town records.'
The committee chosen were Charles S. F. Hilton, William Carlisle, Leonard Montgomery, Leonard McCobb and William Kenniston.
A special meeting September 1, 1862 :
"To see what method the town will take to raise the num- ber of men required of the town under the late call of the Governor."
The action of the town :
"Voted to pay volunteers $125 and authorize the selectmen to borrow $3,250 to pay volunteers when required."
At this meeting Alden Blossom was chosen to obtain names of all those already gone into the army and navy, and to wait upon the Governor and see if the town might not be enabled to get its quota reduced or its filling postponed for a time. At the same meeting Leonard McCobb, Leonard Montgomery,

HISTORY OF BOOTHBAY.
John McClintock and William Kenniston were chosen as a committee to procure volunteers.
September 5, 1863, it was voted to pay drafted men, who serve under the Conscription Act, $125 each.
November 16, 1863, it was voted to pay $300 each to those who are accepted by the Governor to fill the town's quota under the President's call of October 17th, and the selectmen were authorized to raise the necessary amount on the credit of the town.
January 4, 1864, a committee consisting of Westbrook G. Lewis, Sewall S. Wylie and Isaac W. Reed was chosen to procure the town's quota at the best possible advantage. The selectmen were authorized to make a loan of $13,200, at the lowest possible rate, limited not to pay in excess of eight per cent. interest, and to deposit the funds in Augusta, that the men might be paid as soon as mustered into United States service.
February 17, 1864, at a special meeting :
" Voted that the selectmen be authorized to recruit the town's quota assigned them under the President's last call, at the best advantage they can for the town, agreeable to instructions."
August 12, 1864, at a special meeting :
" Voted to raise $250 for every man who serves in the United States service, or furnishes a substitute to fill the town's quota for one year, and that the selectmen be authorized to raise the required sum on the credit of the town. Also to pro- cure any necessary assistance in procuring the men."
The above vote was unanimous in a full meeting.
At the September election it was voted 227 to 4 to ratify the Legislative resolve to allow the soldiers in the field the privilege to vote.
A special meeting, October 5, 1864, to complete the work of the meeting of August 12th preceding, voted exclusive power to the selectmen in filling the town's quota under the President's last call for 500,000 men, at the town's expense. The neces- sary number not having been obtained, another meeting was called for December 3, 1864, when it was voted to raise $10,000 on the credit of the town, and that such a part as was necessary should be used in procuring twenty-five volunteers.
The last war measure before its close was that on February
427
THE CIVIL WAR.
22, 1865, when it was voted to raise $15,000 and to choose two agents to procure the necessary men. Thomas Boyd and Sewall S. Wylie were chosen.
In 1870 a vote was passed that each man who enlisted and had received no bounty from any source should be then paid a bounty of $100.
THE BOOTHBAY CIVIL WAR LIST.
The following list, while falling short in number of the aggregate quota during the Civil War period, has been revised with care from town records, inscriptions from gravestones, family records, G. A. R. Post records, and then reviewed by several veterans who have been lifelong residents of the town. Additional to this, comparison with the Adjutant General's reports has been made. The aggregate quota of Boothbay was about 250, but many of these were commuters or substitutes, the names of some of whom were not ever known, being pro- cured through agency ; but if known do not require a place in a list of this nature. If omissions occur, as some are likely to, they are more likely to be instances of some who were Booth- bay born and bred, but went into the service while temporarily residing in some other State. Usual abbreviations are used.
