Nature has been lavish of her favors to our ever beautiful Casco bay, and its surroundings. I make no recommendation, looking to the expenditure of money, but trust that you will be more fully impressed with the value of the attractions nature has provided, and in conjunction with our fellow citizens, will strive to make these attractions as fruitful to our interests as possible.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

The plan area generally includes the St. Johns town center and the Lombard main street, between St. Johns and Columbia Park. Project Overview/Summary The St. Johns/Lombard Plan will be a guide to implement the community’s vision over the next twenty years. Essentially a framework for community growth and development, the plan will address many facets of livability such as land use, transportation, housing and recreation. The plan is guided by the city’s and the region’s plans and policies, which promote the efficient use of land through compact urban development. Both areas are envisioned as pedestrian- friendly places that provide a mix of shopping, entertainment, housing, service, and employment opportunities.
