              John McLean & Sons fonds
              Fonds · 1858-1965
              Fonds consists of legal documents, correspondence, notes, blueprints, and photographs that primarily document the shipbuilding activities of the John McLean & Sons shipyard in Mahone Bay. The photographs feature annotations (on the front or back of mounts) that identify vessels, members of the McLean family, some shipyard workers, and other subjects, including some early views of Mahone Bay. Among the vessels depicted are the schooners Crofton U. McLeod, H.H. MacIntosh, and John W. Miller. There is also a photograph of the CPR steamer Mount Temple aground on West Ironbound Island in 1907. The blueprints and related textual records document vessels built by both John MacLean and Sons and the Mahone Bay Shipbuilding Company. The legal documents pertain to real-estate issues. An accrual processed in 2020 comprises a group of 29 photographs (mostly tintypes) and a group of 70 glass negatives. The tintypes and related photographs date from the c. 1861-1890 period and consist mostly of portraits of John McLean’s wife and children. The glass negatives date from c.1891 -1895 and consist of street views of houses, portraits of people (including two portraits of John McLean), and one military photo. These glass negatives have been attributed to John McLean who was best known as a local shipbuilder but self-identified as a photographer in the 1871 census and on his daughter’s marriage record in 1879. It is possible that McLean was also responsible for the tintypes. MBMS-5
