Download or read book Penobscot Bay written by Harry Gratwick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penobscot Bay is the jewel of mid-coast Maine, a landscape of close-knit communities and picturesque ports whose scenery is matched only by its rich history. Granite from the quarries on Vinalhaven has built bridges, banks and monuments in twenty-three states. Ships launched in Searsport and Belfast have traveled the world. Harry Gratwick explores these and other episodes in Penobscot Bay's past, from the first recorded solar eclipse in Islesboro in 1780 to a covert meeting between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill in 1941. He also recalls some of the region's most indelible characters and traditions, including South Orrington's Earl 'on the River' Morrill and the Vinalhaven North Haven basketball rivalry. Describing war, sport, industry and tragedy, he captures the essence of Penobscot Bay.
Download or read book Atlas of Hancock County Maine 1881 written by Jane Crosen and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine you're in Hancock County; the year is 1881. With downeast Maine still in the age of sail, goods are shipped by coasting schooner; people get around in boats, by foot, horse and buggy, stagecoach, steamer, and scow ferry. Coastal towns are bustling with local industries-brickyards, shipyards, water-powered saw and grist mills, fishing, farming, lumbering. Quarries ship granite to markets near and far, and a mining boom is in full swing.Everyone who loves exploring downeast Maine, maps, history, old deeds, and genealogy will enjoy using and perusing this remarkably detailed historic Atlas, a fascinating time capsule of Hancock County in the last glow of a 19th-century coastal economy. Compiled and published by George N. Colby, the original Atlas was drawn in Ellsworth based on actual surveys and then-new U.S. Coast Survey charts, and engraved and printed in Philadelphia; only 350 copies were printed, now a collector's item. The new Coastwise Geographic Edition, a facsimile reprint, includes all the archival maps arranged in a more geographically consistent layout for today's users, with period photos, a preface for historic context, lively excerpts from an 1878 county survey complementing the town profiles, a bibliography of complementary sources, and an index of historic and current place names. In publishing the Coastwise Geographic Edition of Colby's Atlas, Jane Crosen, a Maine mapmaker with deep roots in Hancock County, is pleased to keep in print such an important documentation of downeast Maine's history and cultural landscape. Quality paperback with fabric binding, printed in black & white on cream paper with full-color covers, 70 pages, 12"x 153⁄4".
