3503Woolies, Sailors' Embroidered Folk Art, tapestry
  • Object, Art, Tapestry
  • Vessels, Boat, Sailboat
This magnificent gift of twenty-four English sailors' embroideries - Woolies - was presented by Mrs Douglas Dillon to honor the new Northeast Harbor Library in 2007. These unique pieces of nineteenth century mariner's folk art were souvenirs of the sailors' world-wide journeys and were embroidered in wool on sailcloth. Mrs. Dillon began a half-century ago to develop this unique and wonderful collection and continued until presenting them to the Library.
