A photograph of seagulls flying off Trott Island in Kennebunkport, Maine. Trott Island is one of the twelve islands protected and maintained by volunteers of Cape Porpoise. The names of the islands derive from the early settlers that built homes there during the Revolutionary War, such as the Trott family. Benjamin Trott and his wife moved to Kennebunk in the late 1700s where they settled on Trott Island. 

From the collection of Fred Bodin of Gloucester MA. Fred was a long-time resident and well-known photographer of Gloucester and had one of the best private collections of New England nautical photographs in private hands. Fred was a photojournalist having graduated with this degree from Syracuse University and worked for Yankee Magazine. Fred passed away in 2016 and HIP purchased his collection from his estate.
