APPEARANCE The Percy and Small Shipyard is located on a three acre lot at 451 Washington Street, about three-fourths of a mile south of the large Bath Iron Works Shipyard complex. The shipyard's four old buildings are situated close to the Kennebec River. The shipyard area has become covered with undergrowth since shipbuilding operations ceased in 19^0. 0nlY remnants remain of what used to be the ship ways. The only visible evidence to indicate ways were located on the site are earth impres­ sions, pieces of rotting wood and a few pieces of rusty metal hardware which may be found. The buildings that remain on the lot have lapsed into a state rn of deterioration. Before the shipyard ceased operation, the m buildings were kept in good repair as evidenced by enclosed photo of the 1909 shipyard. The four remaining buildings, all of basic wooden construction, include a mold loft and a pitch z oven. Other than being used somewhat as storage areas for the CO Bath Marine Museum, the buildings have not served any useful H purpose in recent years.

As early as 1607 the Popham Colonists built the 30 ton VIRGINIA, t/) the first English vessel built in America. z o In 1762 Bath f s first commercial shipyard was opened. After the Revolutionary period, with the help of protective legislation by Congress, local maritime activities expanded rapidly. u The ships of the local merchants, ever extending their cruises began pouring in wealth, and for more than half a century the operation of ships and trade were the more important thing; though the expanding shipyards and the related industries were always an important industrial community. Ij^ 1855 Bath ranked fifth in the country in point of amount of tonnage registered, enrolled and licensed, being outranked only LU by New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. UJ uo In 1857 over 500 ships were operating out of the Bath Customs District. Most of this early trade involved commerce with world-wide connections. During this era, Bath shipyards were mainly pro­ ducing the "Down Easter", a type of "Half-Clipper" noted for having speed without sacrificing cargo space. After the Civil War, the commercial phase of local maritime activities entered upon a decline, but the shipyards and skill in shipbuilding, which commerce had created in Bath, continued to grow, and for another half century Bath supplied the nation with the finest ships of wood. After the Civil War, with the decline of world trade, the schooner came into its own because of its ability to maneuver in" the tricky coastal breezes as well as being adaptable to crews of about one-half the size of a square-rigged ship.

The Percy and Small Yard earned a reputation as one of the most notable of the strictly modern builders of wooden sailing craft. / The owners, Capt. Samuel R. Peipcy and Frank A. Smafl.1, special­ ized in the construction of large schooners for the coastwise trade. Dr|u)ing the yard's operating years, from 1894-1920, all but two of the vessels turned out were four, five and six-masted schoo­ ners ranging in size from 700 to more than 3700 tons. Percy and Small managed a splendid fleet at one time, measuring 25,000 tons, capable of moving 400,000 tons of coal along the New England coast each year. The most famous of the schooners built at the Percy and Small Shipyard was the WYOMING. This huge vessel, built for the Yard's own use in 1909, was 329 feet long and weighed 3,730 tons. This fore and aft rigged "Windjammer" was the largest wooden vessel ever built. The WYOMING *eiit down off from Pollack Rip Lightship in 1924. Another well-known Percy and Small vessel was the ELEANOR A. PERCY, the second six-master ever built and one of the largest at 3,401 tons. Most of the wood for building the WYOMING and the other Percy and Small vessels came from the southern part of the country. The local wood supply had been largely exhausted by the tre­ mendous demand put on the local forests by the local shipyards (over 600 full ships were built in Bath alone) so the Percy and Small Yard had to use yirginia oak, Georgia pine, and Carolina hackmatack for ship construction. The Bath shipbuilding tradition has carried over to the present time. The Bath Iron Works Shipyard is famous for its destroyer and minesweeper construction. The Percy and Small Shipyard is possibly the only existent wood shipbuilding yard which built large merchant vessels in the country.

Shakespeare talked of seven ages of man. More recently Erik Erikson has thought of five separate stages in human life. All of these begin to break down, however, when we think of the end of eras. Partially because of the chronological pressure, such times come at the end of centuries. When one adds to the end of a century the concept of an end of a millennium, the sense of change, of difference, of end time can be very powerful, if not overwhelming. The termination of the nineteenth and the eighteenth centuries were much discussed as to the future.

    The Way We Were The Story Behind 118 Congress Street Portland, Maine 118 on Munjoy Hill Condominiums 2015 December 2016 We would like to express profound gratitude to Janet Theriault who compiled The Way We Were, the history of 118 Congress Street. Her love of history, strong writing skills and, by nature, being a champion for details and accuracy were much appreciated. We also would like to give a “tip of the hat” to some of the nonprofits that are integral to the preservation of the Munjoy Hill neighborhood: Maine Historical Society, Greater Portland Landmarks, St. Lawrence Arts and Friends of Eastern Promenade.

A new town was organized in 1718 named “Falmouth,” consisting of the peninsula of Falmouth Neck and considerable neighboring property. In 1775, British warships destroyed nearly three-quarters of the town. Falmouth Neck separated from Falmouth and was renamed “Portland” in 1786. 2 1845 Source: Collections of Maine Historical Society By 1807, Portland was Maine’s most important shipping and trading port and the sixth largest commercial port in the nation.

    HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 By MARGARET FOWLES WILDE % A., University of Maine, 1932 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History and Government) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono May, 1940 ABSTRACT HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 There have been many accounts of individual settlements in Maine and a few histories of the State, but no one has ever attempted a history of its land policy or analyzed the effect that such a policy or lack of policy might have had on the development of the State of Maine. Maine was one of the earliest sections of the Atlantic Coast 'to be explored but one of the slowest in development. The latter may have been due to a number of factors but undoubtedly the lack of a definite, well developed land policy had much to do with the slow progress of settlement and development of this area. The years 1602 to 1620 marked the beginnings of explorations along the Maine Coast principally by the English and French. In 1603, Henry IV of France granted all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-six degrees north latitude to Pierre de Gast Sieure de Monts. This territory was called Acadia. Soon after, in 1606 King James I of England granted all the lands between the thirty-fourth and forty-fifth degrees north latitude to an association of noblemen of London and Plymouth. Later, King James I of England granted all the lands from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degrees of north latitude to a company called ’’Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon; for planting, ruling, and governing New England in America.” This company functioned from 1620-1635.

Now his 200th Celebrating birthday is upon us, and Maine Historical, many Maine arts organizations, the Longfellow National Historic Site and friends in Cambridge, and fans across the Creativity country are about to launch a yearlong celebration of the boy from Maine who became America’s most beloved poet. At MHS, the celebration will kick off on February 16th with the opening of a new exhibit — Drawing Together: The Arts of the Longfellows. Using never-before-seen works from many collections, the exhibit will reveal not only the family’s passionate interest in painting and drawing but the way creativity and imagination bound the generations together. [Read more on pg. 3] MHS will host its Annual Longfellow Birthday Party on Saturday, February 24, and then present a series of Spring lectures and programs designed to complement the exhibit and celebrate Henry’s life and career. MHS will also issue an open invitation to poets, writers, public figures, students, and the general public to create their own works in response to Longfellow. Many of these will be posted on our Longfellow website (www.hwlongfellow.org ) and some will be featured in a grand celebration/poetry festival/forum at MHS in October, which will culminate the year’s events. Collaboration is another theme of 2007, and we are partnering with many organi- zations to help celebrate Longfellow 200.
