Scow used to transport goods, wagons, and people to Apple Island. Nellie Linn, Jessie Harvey, Mr. Sanderson with Grace S., John Harvey, Sr. Phil Phalman (working on island), Forest Campbell sitting. From Campbell Harvery Manuscript – (Grandson of Colin and Caroline Campbell) The scow was simply a square barge, long enough and wide enough to accomodate a wagon and team of horses. A protective railing along the sides protected the passengers, and in it were the sockets, into which the oarlocks fitted. It was propelled by oars, maybe 12 feet long, which were usually manned by two persons, but the rower could move it.

Water barrel filling site on North Shore of Apple Island facing North Point. Location where a barrel was filled with lake water then distributed to island homes for non-cooking purposes. The one horse water cart (a barrel, with a wheel on each side and a hinged top) would be backed into the lake. With a pail, the barrel would be filled with lake water. This supplied water for purposes other than drinking and cooking. There was several wells on the island for the latter purposes. This picture shows the location for filling barrels and primarily where the cows and horses went to drink.
