Портланд

Укрцајте се на М/В МОНХЕГАН, прелепо рестауриран дрвени чамац са јастогом, и осећајте се као код куће док крстарите Портландском луком, поред пристаништа које датирају из периода непосредно после Револуционарног рата. У једном тренутку, Портланд је био једна од најпрометнијих лука у раним деценијама Сједињених Држава, о чему сведоче невероватне камене тврђаве које штите луку.

Буг Лигхт Парк

Ово је најмањи и први од четири светионика на које ћемо наићи на нашем крстарењу заливом Каско. У ветровитим данима, пазите на окупљања искусних летача змајева и њихових шарених змајева. Понекад постоји чак и џиновска љубичаста хоботница која лењо лебди на поветарцу! Одмах иза угла од Буг Лигхт-а је статуа прамца Либерти Брода. Многи бродови су овде изграђени током Другог светског рата, укључујући СС Јеремиах О'Бриен, који је популарна туристичка атракција у Сан Франциску и један од јединих преживелих Либерти бродова.

Светионик Спринг Поинт Ледге

Приближите се Спринг Поинт Лигхт-у и оближњој тврђави Пребле, малом оружју изграђеном као део одбране луке Портланда. У првим годинама светионик није био повезан са копном гранитним лукобраном који данас постоји, а бродови који су ишли на погрешну страну светионика насукали су се на плитку платформу.

4

Цапе Елизабетх

Погледајте невероватну јесењу боју Нове Енглеске на обалама Цапе Елизабетх, где се налазе неке од најневероватнијих приморских кућа у заливу Каско.

5

Портланд Хеад Лигхт

Погледајте са воде Портланд Хеад Лигхт, најстарији и најпознатији светионик у Мејну. По наруџби Џорџа Вашингтона и изграђен почев од 1791. године, овај светионик је био важан навигациони светионик и локална знаменитост више од 2 века. Светионик је издржао урагане и глобалне сукобе. Немачке подморнице потопиле су брод америчке морнарице само 15 миља од главног светла у данима Другог светског рата.

6

Рам Исланд Ледге Лигхт

Означавајући супротну страну лучког канала од Портланд Хеад Лигхт-а, Рам Исланд Лигхт седи на врху стеновите платформе и за време плиме изгледа да плута и потпуно невезан за копно. Док Портланд Хеад Лигхт има своју величанствену кућу чувара и прелепе беле испране стране, светло на острву Рам је истрошено и сиво скоро неприступачно, са сада запуштеним пристаништем који води до мердевина које захтевају да се попне 30 стопа на спољашњу страну светионика пре него што дођеш до врата.

7

Пеакс Исланд

Уживајте у фантастичном погледу на живописне литице на острву Кушинг и улице са дрвећем и необичне викендице острва Пикс. Некада дом неколико забавних паркова који су служили директним паробродима из Њујорка, Пикс је сада тихо острвско насеље које је технички део града Портланда, али има свој осећај у малом граду. У време када су јесење боје потпуно видљиве, већина сезонских становника се вратила у своје уобичајене домове, а Пикс је дом за само неколико стотина срдачних душа током целе године које морају узети трајект или водени такси да би стигли на копно.

8

Форт Горгес

Као најупадљивија камена тврђава која штити луку Портланд, Форт Горгес је знаменитост видљива из већег дела залива Каско, због чега је изграђена на овом стеновитом изданку на малој удаљености од Пиксова и Мали дијамантских острва и самог копна. Тврђава је могла да испали више од десет топова на нападаче који су долазили са било којег могућег морског пута, али никада није коришћена у активној борби. Технолошки напредак у артиљерији током грађанског рата учинио ју је превише рањивом да би била корисна. Тврђава је служила као складиште за војску током Другог светског рата, када су подводне мине, електромагнетни сензорски каблови и други системи коришћени да помогну у заштити Портланда и залива Каско од немачког напада. Сетите се, Портланд је био дом великог бродоградилишта током Другог светског рата и био је почетак нафтовода који снабдева нафтом Монтреал и источну Канаду, тако да је регион био од великог стратешког значаја чак иу модернијим сукобима.

Portland

Board M/V MONHEGAN, a beautifully restored wooden lobster boat, and make yourself at home as you cruise through Portland's Harbor, past wharves dating to the period just after the Revolutionary War. At one point, Portland was one of the busiest harbors in the early decades of the United States, a fact attested to by the incredible stone fortresses protecting the harbor.

10

Bug Light Park

This is the smallest and first of four lighthouses we will encounter on our cruise through Casco Bay. On windy days, keep an eye out for gatherings of expert kite flyers and their colorful kites. Sometimes there's even a giant purple octopus floating lazily in the breeze! Just around the corner from Bug Light is a statue of the bow of a Liberty Ship. Many ships were constructed here during WWII, including the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, which is a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco and one of the only surviving Liberty Ships.

11

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse

Get up close to Spring Point Light and nearby Fort Preble, a small gun emplacement built as a part of Portland's Harbor Defenses. In the early years, the lighthouse was not connected to the mainland by the granite breakwater that exists today, and ships that went on the wrong side of the lighthouse went aground on shallow ledge.

12

Cape Elizabeth

See the incredible New England Fall color on the shores of Cape Elizabeth, home to some of the most amazing seaside homes in Casco Bay.

13

Portland Head Light

See Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest and most iconic lighthouse, from the water. Commissioned by George Washington and constructed starting in 1791, this lighthouse has been an important navigational beacon and local landmark for more than 2 centuries. The lighthouse has withstood hurricanes and global conflicts. German U-boats sunk a US Navy ship just 15 miles off the Head Light in the waning days of WWII.

14

Ram Island Ledge Light

Marking the opposite side of the harbor channel from Portland Head Light, Ram Island Light sits atop a rocky ledge and at high tide appears to be floating and completely unattached to land. Whereas Portland Head Light has its stately keeper's house and beautiful white washed sides, Ram Island Light is weathered and gray almost inaccessible, with a now-derelict pier leading to a ladder that requires one to climb up 30 feet on the outside of the lighthouse before you get to the door.

15

Peaks Island

Enjoy fantastic views of the scenic cliffs on Cushing Island and the tree-lined streets and quaint cottages of Peaks Island. Once home to several amusement parks that were served by direct steamer routes from New York, Peaks is now a quiet island neighborhood that is technically part of the City of Portland but has a small-town feel all its own. By the time the fall colors are in full view, most seasonal residents have returned to their usual homes, and Peaks is home to just a couple hundred hearty year round souls who must take a ferry or water taxi to get to the mainland.

16

Fort Gorges

As the most conspicuous stone fortress protecting Portland Harbor, Fort Gorges is a landmark visible from much of Casco Bay, which is exactly why it was built on this rocky outcropping a short distance from Peaks and Little Diamond Islands and the mainland itself. The fort could fire more than a dozen cannons on attackers coming from any possible sea route, but was never used in active battle. Technological advancements in artillery during the Civil War rendered it too vulnerable to be useful. The fort did serve as a storage facility for the army during World War II, when underwater mines, electromagnetic sensing cables, and other systems were used to help protect Portland and Casco Bay from German attack. Remember, Portland was home to a large shipyard during WWII and was the start of a pipeline that supplies oil to Montreal and eastern Canada, so the region was of high strategic importance even in more modern conflicts.
