Harry Alexander Ogden's famous drawing of the S.S. Cambria. The article begins: "In the landlocked waters of Southwest Harbor lies the now muchly talked of Cambria. A more adroit selection for a quiet berth could scarcely have been made; and when we came to take a glance at the trim and taut-looking vessel, we felt inclined to wonder, as with the fly in amber, "how the deuce she got there?” Southwest Harbor is about twenty-three miles from Ellsworth, Maine. To reach it, recalls those tortuous times when our forefathers ventured forth at rare intervals, their wills made, their flasks full, and their powder dry. The journey from New York to Boston, and from thence to Bangor, savors of the nineteenth century, but from Bangor to Ellsworth, and from Ellsworth to Southwest Harbor, speaks loudly of the eighteenth."

Decommissioned by Coast Guard, July 19, 1915, Portland, Maine. Sold to Thomas Butler & Co., Boston, Massachusetts August 10, 1915. Woodbury's decommission ended 51 years with the Revenue Cutter Service, making her one of the longest serving cutters in the organization's history. After her final decommission in 1915, Levi Woodbury was placed into service as the merchant Laksco. She disappears from shipping records in 1932. “For more than fifty years the cutter “Levi Woodbury” was stationed on the coast of Maine, ranging between Portland and Eastport with regular calls at Rockland, Castine, and Machiasport. At first her hull was black, but later was painted white. She served from 1864 until 1916, when she was condemned by the government and sold. She finished her days enacting shipwreck scenes in silent movies.” - “Penobscot Bay, Mount Desert and Eastport Steamboat Album” by Allie Ryan, p. 68-69 – 1972 A revenue cutter did customs work, survey work and smuggling patrol. It functioned as the Coast Guard does today. - Ralph Stanley - 09/26/2007 In 1790, Alexander Hamilton proposed armed shipping vessels to enforce customs duties in the nations shipping ports. Congress appropriated $10,000 to maintain 10 revenue cutters to be placed under the charge of customs collectors.
