DROWNING ACCIDENT AT SCHOONER HEAD
Camera Man For Moving Picture Company Meets Tragic Death
John Von den Brock, camera man for the Maurice Tourneue Production Company of Fort Lee, N.J., was accidentally drowned at Schooner Head on last Saturday.
At the time the accident occurred the company was in the vicinity of the Spouting Horn making a picture and Mr. Von den Brock was on a ledge close to the sea with his back to the water using his camera. The sea was rough and a heavy swell was running and the director of the company urged Mr. Von den Brock not to stand so close to the water, but the latter said there was no danger and stuck to his position.
The place is a very exposed one and the sea sweeps in from the ocean with nothing to break its force. When the sea is rough and the tide coming in, it is an exceedingly dangerous place for a person not acquainted with the spot. One may stand there in perfect safety for half an hour when all at once a big wave will come in with irresistible force.
That is just what happened Saturday. The picture company had been at work there all the forenoon when at about 12;30 a high wave came in with over-whelming power and took Mr. Von den Brock off his feet and carried him and his camera out to sea. It happened so quickly that the other members of the company were powerless to render their companion any aid and he was drown before their eyes.
Mr. Von den Brock is said to have been the highest paid camera man in the business and was most popular young man among his associates. He was 23 years of age, unmarried and resided at 156 Riverside Drive, New York City.

Hello, my name is Emmanuel. I’m 20 years old and I’m looking for my ancestors. I do research and on my fridge I have exactly this photo develop. I would like to know if you have more information about this car garage or if you have the address of this building. Thank you very much. Mezenen Emmanuel.
ReplyDeleteThis garage was owned and run by Christian Mezenen and was located directly across from the high school, or todays town hall. That would place the business where the current Hannafords super market is located today. I have a nice article on him going off to war, I will do a post on this within next 48 hours on my other blog, Early History of Mount Desert Island Maine and I will place a link to the post right here in the comment section so you can easily find it.
