Book Synopsis Lost Maine Coastal Schooners by : Ingrid Grenon
Download or read book Lost Maine Coastal Schooners written by Ingrid Grenon and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic true stories of New England maritime history, with photos. Large, wooden-hulled schooners graced the seas of coastal Maine for more than a century as vessels of trade and commerce. With the advent of steam-powered craft, however, these elegant four-, five-, or six-masted wooden ships became obsolete and vanished from the harbors and horizons. The Edward Lawrence, the last of the six-masters, became her own funeral pyre in Portland Harbor, burning to ash before everyone’s eyes. The Carroll A. Deering washed ashore with no trace of her crew, empty as a ghost ship except for three cats and a pot of pea soup still cooking on the stove. In this testament to the beauty of the Maine coastal region, maritime history enthusiast Ingrid Grenon tells the story of these magnificent relics of the bygone Age of Sail and celebrates the people who devoted their lives to the sea.

Book Synopsis Kittery to Bar Harbor by : Erika J. Waters
Download or read book Kittery to Bar Harbor written by Erika J. Waters and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine's more than 3,000 miles of rocky coastline, picturesque islands, sandy beaches, iconic lighthouses, and quintessential New England harbors have lured visitors since the middle of the 19th century. Steamships first transported sportsmen and "rusticators" along the coast. Soon summer colonies formed, and art schools flourished. Expanding train travel led to the development of seaside resorts with grand hotels, while America's wealthiest families built opulent summer "cottages" in exclusive enclaves. Yachts became common sights along the coast and cruising grew in popularity. With the 20th century came the automobile and the development of the highway system, including Route 1, which encouraged road trips. The history of touring the Maine coast between 1860 and 1960 offers fascinating insight into the history of Maine, tourism, and America itself.
Book Synopsis Living with the Coast of Maine by : Joseph T. Kelley
Download or read book Living with the Coast of Maine written by Joseph T. Kelley and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine is known for its rockbound coast and pristine shoreline. Yet there is more to this shore than rocky cliffs. This book describes the origin of the more common "soft coast" of eroding bluffs, sand beaches, and salt marshes. A central theme is the formation of the present shoreline during the current ongoing rise in sea level and the ways in which coastal residents can best cope with the changes to come. Although it is not widely known, Maine is experiencing a rapid, uneven drowning of its shore at the same time that coastal development is at an all-time high. The authors explain how the shoreline is changing and provide a series of highly detailed maps that show the relative safety of particular locations on the coast. Specific guidelines for recognizing various safe and unsafe coastal settings are presented, as are recommendations for sound construction techniques in hazardous coastal areas. Photographs and drawings illustrate the danger of living too near the shoreline, and an up-to-date review of Maine's regulations governing coastal construction is simply and readably described. A bibliography of important coastal literature is also included, as well as a guide to federal, state, and local sources of information.
Download or read book Coast Calendar written by Robert Coffin and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Coast Calendar," says its Pulitzer Prize-winning author, "is the story of the work and play, the human nature and the weather, the fauna and flora, the ups and downs in a sample, all-around Main family that mixes farming of the sea with farming of the land." It is Robert P. Tristram Coffin's delightful chronicle of a year on the Maine coast. It is the world of coastal Maine, but it is a wider world, too. Perhaps the deep frost and special swing of the stars and the sweep of the sea belong to Maine, but the fine day-to-day detail of living in tune with the seasons and nature will stir memories for many of a way of life that is rapidly passing. Rebert P. Tristram Coffin was a descendant of the original English settlers of Maine and an acclaimed historian of his time. He was also a poet and essayist and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1935. He attended Bowdoin College in Maine and later taught there while writing many of his thirty-seven books.
