Text Appearing Before Image:
d. What happenedto the Tiger is today not known, but quite probably it wasbroken up for scrap. Alderman E. E. Rounds of Portland succeeded in raisingfunds to acquire the Lion for exhibition in the Fourth of Julyparade held in Portland in 1898. It then remained in Port-land on city property until 1905 when, through the efforts ofAlderman Rounds, the President and alumni of the Uni-versity of Maine, and friends of the University, it was shippedto the University to be preserved as a museum piece. Onceon the campus it was stored in various places and receivedlittle attention, until it was moved in 1929 to the then newlycompleted Crosby Mechanical Laboratory. As the result of a study made in the fall of 1929, somemissing parts of the Lion were replaced, and it was restored tothe point where it can now be operated on compressed air. Figure 57.—L/on, built in 1 846 by Holmes Hinkley of Boston, as it appeared inwhat is probably the Portland, Maine, junkyard from which it was rescued in1898.
