Map covers the verso of a small rare brochure for Parker's Scenic Motor Boat Trip on the Juanita with additional details for a deep sea fishing trip.

As the brochure explained the route:
<div class="indenttextblocksingle">
"The 'JUANITA' passes close to the principle [sic] water-front estates and continues to follow the shore to the 'ovens' (a peculiar rock formation) then makes its return trip back across the bay, giving a wonderful panoramic view of the mountains of ACADIA NATIONAL PARK and goes as far along the ocean side of the PARK as weather and time permits."

Captain Parker served as head mechanic for the Fabbri Brothers, builders of a radio station formerly located on Ocean Drive. Parker entered into the boating business about 1925 as a Yacht Agent and was responsible for bringing the first speed boat to Bar Harbor. (Source: Online: Bar Harbor Times. September 11, 1941). In 1938 for $1.00 Parker offered a four-hour "Naturalist's Sea Cruise" with Captain Parker and a U.S. Park Ranger sharing the guide role aboard the "Narmada". (Sullivan Maurice.
