Чого очікувати
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, що відносяться до 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
Цей невеликий маяк, який позначає вхід у гавань Портленда, зазвичай є першим із чотирьох маяків, які ми бачимо під час оглядових екскурсій на наших старовинних дерев’яних човнах.
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
Портлендський головний ліхтар
Подивіться на найвідоміший маяк Мен з води. Якщо дозволяють погодні та морські умови, ми проводимо час у водах перед маяком для фотографій та обговорення історії маяка. Ми не сходимо на берег і не оглядаємо маяк. Маяк не відкритий для екскурсій, оскільки він все ще є діючим навігаційним маяком.
5
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.
6
Бухта Каско
Затока Каско відома на весь світ своїми скелястими островами, захищеними водами та фантастичними пейзажами. Здійсніть круїз повз деякі з понад 200 островів затоки, які можуть похвалитися вкритими деревами скелястими скелями, невеликими рибальськими поселеннями та милими гаванями.
7
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.
8
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.

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
Marking the entrance to Portland Harbor, this small lighthouse is typically the first of four lighthouses we see on our sightseeing excursions aboard our vintage wooden boats.
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
Portland Head Light
See Maine's most iconic lighthouse from the water. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we spend time in the waters in front of the lighthouse for photos and discussion about the history of the lighthouse. We do not go ashore or tour the lighthouse. Lighthouse is not open for tours as it is still an active navigational beacon.
13
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.
14
Casco Bay
Casco Bay is world-renown for its rugged islands, protected waters, and fantastic scenery. Cruise past some of the bay's 200+ islands boasting tree-covered rocky cliffs, small fishing communities, and cute harbors.
15
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.
16
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.

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.

Portland Head Light
See Maine's most iconic lighthouse from the water. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we spend time in the waters in front of the lighthouse for photos and discussion about the history of the lighthouse. We do not go ashore or tour the lighthouse. Lighthouse is not open for tours as it is still an active navigational beacon.
77
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.
78
Casco Bay
Casco Bay is world-renown for its rugged islands, protected waters, and fantastic scenery. Cruise past some of the bay's 200+ islands boasting tree-covered rocky cliffs, small fishing communities, and cute harbors.
79
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.

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.
81
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.
82
Bug Light Park
Marking the entrance to Portland Harbor, this small lighthouse is typically the first of four lighthouses we see on our sightseeing excursions aboard our vintage wooden boats.

Seeing the lighthouses was interesting. The tour guide didn't provide much narration. Maybe because the tour was riding by the lighthouses and fort remains.

We are truly sorry your cruise with us did not meet your expectations. Our crew strives to balance conversations and narration with the serenity of our private setting and the natural beauty around us. Knowing each group is different, we do our best to “read the room,” but in this case it seems we didn’t quite get that balance right. Once again, our apologies and we would happily offer you a free outing with us next time you are in Portland if you’d like.
