Bath Maritime Museum











Yesterday we went to Fort Popham by Popham Beach State Park in Maine. We tried to get in the State Park, but no dogs allowed this time of year. The ranger said we can walk the dogs by the fort on the beach if we keep her on a leash. We went there, and were one of the few people that kept our dog on a leash. It’s not that we were being responsible dog owners. We just know from past experience that Roxy would start swimming to her mother land (Newfoundland) if we let her off the leash.
Today we went to the Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. There was a picture in the museum of local fisherman that I included in this blog. Apparently some of the fisherman had quite a crack problem. The museum included a fishing boat built in 1942 that we toured. Also I included a picture of the dry dock that is currently used at the Bath Boatworks facility. Once boats are completed they are put into this dry dock that is then pulled into the river. The dry dock is then sunk so the boat can float out.
