The English raid at Fernald Point doomed Jesuit ambitions on Mount Desert Island, leaving the territory east of the Penobscot River in a state of limbo, lying between the French, firmly entrenched to the north, and the English, whose settlements in Massachusetts and southward were becoming increasingly numerous.
No one wished to settle in this contested territory and for the next 150 years, Mount Desert Island's importance was primarily its use as a landmark for seamen, as for example when John Winthrop, first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, sketched the island's mountains on his voyage to the New World.
