English
fishermen originally discovered this area of Maine, back in
the 17th century. Fishing, ice cutting, shipbuilding, and
lumber were the local industries in the 17th and 18th century.
By the 1800's visitors started coming to the area. Boothbay
is the largest boating harbor north of Boston. In fact, it
is sometimes called the boating capital of New England. In
Boothbay Harbor there are many restaurants, souvenir shops,
crafts and antiques. There is also many motels, inns, or B
& B's to choose from for your needs. In late June we celebrate
"Windjammer Days". You can find many beautifully
colored sailboats scattered in the bay.
Boothbay is located in Maine's Mid
Coast Region. |
