    PENOBSCOTBAY Maine National Estuary Program Nomination STATE OF MAINE OFFICEOF THE GOVERNOR AUGUSTA. MAINE 04333 ANGUS S. KING, JR. GOVERNOR March 6, 1995 Administrator Carol Browner US. Environmental Protection Agency 401 M. Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20460 Dear Ms. Browner: 1 am pleased to submit a State of Maine Conference Agreement that nominates Penobscot Bay for designation in the National Estuary Program. The Agreement describes the Bay's key issues and actions to respond to them, how we will continue to involve the public in developing and implementing solutions to these most pressing issues, and how we propose to finance this estuary project. Our nomination for Penobscot Bay is consistent with EPA's December; 1994 guidance that calls for considerable initiative by a state before requesting designation. Public and private entities have worked cooperatively since 1992 and made remarkable progress. Two major conferences have brought together all levels of government, the nonprofit community, Bay businesses and the public to talk openly about key issues and possible solutions. These and other activities described in the attached document have laid a solid foundation for a successful national estuaq project. I believe our estuary project will be successfully implemented because of the active participation of five state agencies over the past three years. These agencies (the Departments of Environmental Protection, Marine Resources, Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Economic and Community Developmenf and the State Planning Office) are committed to this project and I am confident that in concert with our nonprofit, municipal and business partners we will m&e important strides to protect and restore Penobscot Bay.

It is recommended that the user of this product perform his/her Own research to further increase the knowledge of a site. We strongly recommend that permission of the owner of any site be obtained prior to a search. FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast. DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS NOTE: All distance measurements for sites are direct from point A to point B and are NOT road measurements. Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other. Linear measurements are usually accurate to one tenth mile (1/1 oth mile) while Latitude and Longitude coordinates are accurate to one thousandth of one minute, which equates to approximately 30 feet, depending on the accuracy of your GPS. WHAT IS A GHOST TOWN? There have been many inquiries as to how we have determined what establishes the parameters for ghost town status. While the dictionary definition is not satisfactory for our usage, Mosquito Publishing has used the following: That a town or settlement was at one time a thriving and viable community.

    .THE MITCHELLS FROM KITTERY A REPRINT FROM DESCENDANTS OF EDWARD SMALL AND ALLIED FAMILIES BY LORA AL TINE WOODBURY UNDERHILL Copyright, 1910, by Ada Small Moore All rights reserved CAMBRIDGE prinatdp tiJrintelJ at ~bt JRinersillt tJrtstS 1911 THE MITCHELLS · FROM KITTERY CHRISTOPHER 1 MITCHELL THE first mention of Christopher 1 ~Iitchell, of Kittery, Maine, appears in a Court Record as early as May 21, 1660.* This record proves that he then was of age; con­ sequently the date of his birth was not later than 1639. The Rev. Mr. Stackpole (who has written the History of Kittery, Maine) and others have tried to prove that Chris­ topher was son to Paul Mitchell, one of John Winter's men, on Richmond's Island. In_ the account of Winter's "Plan­ tatio~" on that island, in 1639, mention is made of "5s pd in to his [Paul Mitchell's] wife;" and in a list for which Paul Mitchell is "Debitor" appears £6 : 6 "for Commodi­ ties in ye house:" £14 : 6 "for wine:" £9: 8: 6 "for so much pd him by Mr Trelawne wth aduenture : " £0 : o : 11 "for sider & oyle;" £0 : 9 : 9 "for aquauite [aqua vitre] at his first Coming ouer." These iten1s indicate that Paul Mitchell had his wife with him, and probably was living in his own house. In a letter from Winter to Trelawny, dated "Richmon Iland, the 29th of July 1641," Winter appears to be troubled greatly by the "mens tymes" that "weare out" on May 10th, and later. Most of the men expected that immediate transportation home "should be ready against their tymes did expire after their 3 yeares servize." The men who promised to remain were "George Bunt, Booteson [Boatswain] & his son, Richard Fild, and Paul Mychell;" and they were "set about the rigging " of the new ship that was soon to be "lancht." t * Early Records of Maine, vol.
