Distances between Trefethen and Forest City were spanned by means of the “Democrat” , a long wagon owned by Captain Trefethen. ^{[Source: Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association, page 6.]}
Mr. Ford Parit also went to the Valley View to write his novel called “Peaks Island, a Story of Buccaneer Days”; a very romantic tale in the style of the Brontes. The book was dedicated to Caroline Clifford who died at 101 years of age. It featured a shipwreck in Spar Cove during a wild storm, with Captain Trefethen rescuing the victims. ^{[Source: Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association, page 7.]}
Captain Trefethen’s Lobster Wharf, which preceded the now ruined CBL Wharf and at least two other wharfs, was so short that no large boat could land except at high tide. The wharf was underlaid by a layer of coal put there by Captain Trefethen after he could not find a way to burn it on the Island since grates were not available. ^{[Source: Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association, page 7.]}
Familiar landmarks around the wharf were scattered lobster shells, the Seagull Cottage owned by Emily Trefethen Howe, and a steaming lobster odor.^{[Source: Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association, page 7.]}
