Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
The largest
city in Maine, Portland was founded in 1632 on the Casco Bay Peninsula. It
quickly prospered through shipbuilding and the export of inland pines which
made excellent masts. A long line of wooden wharves stretched along the sea
front, with the merchants’ houses on the hillside above. From the earliest
days it was a cosmopolitan city. When the railroads came, the Canada Trunk
Line had its terminal right on Portland’s quayside, bringing the produce of
Canada and the Great Plains one hundred miles closer to Europe than it would
at any other major US port. Some of the wharves are now taken up by new
condo developments, with the exception of Customs House Wharf which remains
much as it used to be. |
