Offshore fishermen and skillful shipbuilders transformed the quiet shores of the Pemaquid Peninsula beginning in 1815. The maritime economy drove local commerce until enterprising locals turned to ice harvesting, granite quarrying, brick making, lobster canning and pogy oil processing before summer tourism grew and thrived. The descendants of revolutionaries became the faces of a more prosperous generation--men like Albert Thorpe, who ran a popular summer hotel on the grounds where his grandfather had salted and dried his catch decades earlier. Today, summer rusticators discover the enduring natural beauty at the heart of the Pemaquid Peninsula.

Excerpt from A History of the Towns of Bristol and Bremen in the State of Maine, Including the Pemaquid SettlementThis work, though belonging to that class denominated local histories, to a considerable extent, describes events and transactions more or less intimately connected with the early history of the whole north Atlantic coast. This is true at least Of much of the first part. In preparing the work the author has considered himself as particularly addressing the citizens of the place, most of them the neighbors and friends of his youth, or their direct descendants; and in the belief that they would be particularly interested, like himself, in the ancient history of their native place, much labor has been expended on this part and much space allotted to it, though it becomes necessary, as a consequence, to exclude considerable matter relating to modern times that had been prepared, and, were it possible, would gladly have been included. To have merely described the transactions that took place here would have been comparatively an easy task; but to show the real import ance and significance of these transactions, required a Wider range of view, and an examination Of their relations to events simultaneously transpiring in other places on the coast, and even in Europe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In This Place: Muscongus Bay, Maine Pemaquid Point to Marshall Point, by Al Trescot [$30.00 hardcover] Al Trescot, (Rocky Hill Publishing), has now produced his second pictorial ode to the coast of Maine. Four years in the making, this volume is very much a reflection of the author s unbridled enthusiasm for capturing, in stunning and intimate images, the moods, the weathers and the full palette of the mid-coast Maine he has grown to love. After a foreword by Robert E. Ives, Al Trescot simply lets his lens paint his story his wanderings, his discoveries and, most especially, the comforting familiarity of this place

On a September day in 1813, as citizens watched from the rocky shore of Pemaquid, Maine, two of the last and bravest military sailing commanders engaged in a battle that would change the course of the War of 1812...Samuel Blyth was the youthful commander of His Britannic Majesty’s brig Boxer, and William Burrows, younger still, commanded the USS Enterprise. Both men valued honor above all, and on this day their commitment would be put to the ultimate test.Though it lasted less than an hour, the battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise was a brutal contest whose outcome was uncertain. When the cannon smoke cleared, good men had been lost, and the U.S. Navy's role in the war had changed.In Knights of the Sea, David Hanna brings to life a lost era, paying tribute to the young commanders who considered it the highest honor to harness the wind to meet their foes, and would be immortalized by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The only major naval battle of the War of 1812, the battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise came to represent not only a military turning point, but a maritime era that would soon be gone forever.INCLUDES PHOTOS AND MAPS
