| 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.

Mrs. Dillon began a half-century ago to develop this unique and wonderful collection and continued until presenting them to the Library.
