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
