Afisha Life | Приватний оглядовий круїз Fall Foliage

1

Портленд

Сідайте на M/V MONHEGAN, чудово відреставрований дерев’яний човен для омарів, і почувайтеся як вдома під час круїзу портлендською гаванню, повз причали періоду відразу після війни за незалежність. У якийсь момент Портленд був однією з найжвавіших гаваней у перші десятиліття існування Сполучених Штатів, про що свідчать неймовірні кам’яні фортеці, які захищали гавань.

2

Буг Лайт Парк

Це найменший і перший із чотирьох маяків, які ми зустрінемо під час нашого круїзу затокою Каско. У вітряні дні слідкуйте за зібраннями досвідчених літаючих повітряних зміїв та їхніх барвистих повітряних зміїв. Іноді навіть гігантський фіолетовий восьминіг ліниво плаває на вітрі! За рогом від Bug Light є статуя носової частини корабля Свободи. Під час Другої світової війни тут було побудовано багато кораблів, зокрема SS Jeremiah O'Brien, який є популярною туристичною визначною пам’яткою Сан-Франциско та одним із єдиних уцілілих кораблів Liberty Ships.

3

Маяк Spring Point Ledge

Підійдіть ближче до Спрінг-Пойнт-Лайт і сусіднього форту Пребл, невеликої стрілецької точки, побудованої як частина оборони гавані Портленда. У перші роки маяк не був з’єднаний із материком гранітним хвилерізом, який існує сьогодні, і кораблі, які йшли не з того боку від маяка, сідали на мілину на неглибокому уступі.

4

Мис Єлизавети

Побачте неймовірний колір осені Нової Англії на берегах мису Елізабет, де розташовані деякі з найдивовижніших приморських будинків у затоці Каско.

5

Портлендський головний ліхтар

Подивіться з води на головний маяк Портленда, найстаріший і найвідоміший маяк штату Мен. Замовлений Джорджем Вашингтоном і побудований у 1791 році, цей маяк був важливим навігаційним маяком і місцевою пам’яткою вже понад 2 століття. Маяк витримав урагани та глобальні конфлікти. Німецькі підводні човни потопили корабель ВМС США лише за 15 миль від головного світла наприкінці Другої світової війни.

6

Ram Island Ledge Light

Позначаючи протилежний бік портового каналу від Portland Head Light, Ram Island Light сидить на вершині скелястого виступу та під час припливу здається плаваючим і абсолютно не прикріпленим до землі. У той час як Portland Head Light має величний будинок сторожа та красиві білі стіни, Ram Island Light майже не доступний, із занедбаним пірсом, який веде до драбини, на яку потрібно піднятися на 30 футів із зовнішнього боку маяка. ви підходите до дверей.

7

Острів Пікс

Насолоджуйтесь фантастичним видом на мальовничі скелі на острові Кушинг, а також на обсаджені деревами вулиці та химерні котеджі острова Пікс. Пікс, який колись був домом для кількох парків розваг, які обслуговувалися прямими пароплавними маршрутами з Нью-Йорка, зараз є тихим острівним районом, який технічно є частиною міста Портленд, але має власну атмосферу маленького містечка. На той час, коли осінні кольори вже видно, більшість сезонних мешканців повернулися до своїх звичайних домівок, а Пікс є домом лише для кількох сотень веселих цілий рік душ, яким доводиться сідати на пором або водне таксі, щоб дістатися до материка.

8

Форт Гордж

Будучи найпомітнішою кам’яною фортецею, що захищає гавань Портленда, Форт-Гордж є пам’яткою, яку видно з більшої частини затоки Каско, саме тому він був побудований на цьому скелястому виступі неподалік від островів Пікс і Літл-Аймонд та самого материка. Форт міг вистрілити більше десятка гармат по нападникам з будь-якого можливого морського шляху, але ніколи не використовувався в активних боях. Технологічний прогрес в артилерії під час громадянської війни зробив її надто вразливою, щоб бути корисною. Форт справді служив сховищем для армії під час Другої світової війни, коли підводні міни, кабелі електромагнітного зондування та інші системи використовувалися для захисту Портленда та затоки Каско від нападу Німеччини. Пам’ятайте, що Портленд був домом для великої верфі під час Другої світової війни та був початком трубопроводу, який постачає нафту до Монреаля та східної Канади, тому регіон мав велике стратегічне значення навіть у більш сучасних конфліктах.

9

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.
