Penobscot Bay & Midcoast Maine
From Muscongus Bay to Downeast
Penobscot Bay shipped lime, granite and lumber in schooners and coasters, and its islands and ledges are dense with documented losses.
Fog, ledges and the winter coasting trade account for most wrecks here, from Revolutionary War losses in the Penobscot to the last of the great schooners.
