The height of its popularity coincided directly with the coming of summer tourism to the islands of Maine’s Casco Bay. Especially during a period from the Harpswell Steamboat Company’s founding in to America’s entry into World War I in , thousands of tourists poured onto tiny Orr’s Island each summer hoping to meet favorite characters from Pearl and visit their homes as well as the novel’s outdoor locations. Islanders responded by creating a literal cottage industry, turn- ing their houses into the homes of the Pearl, Captain Kittridge, or Aunt Roxy, charging admission to caves and coves, and even doing some role-playing. Feuds broke out among islanders over the authenticity of these lucrative competing concessions, and the Pearl phenomenon was so pronounced that it even created a rush for summer real estate. In , Minneapolis journalist Frank R. Stockton wrote: “After Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe published her ‘The Pearl of Orr’s Island,’ that neglected piece of insular realty came into the market and for some time the rush to get eligible tracts and lots bore some resemblance to Editions and formats, “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” OCLC WorldCat, https://www .worldcat.org (accessed November , ).

At Giant’s Stairs, views of bedrock and eastern Casco Bay are easily accessed and enjoyed along an easy half mile loop shoreline path. This 26-acre property was donated to the town in 1910 by Captain Henry and Joanna Sinnett. An additional one-acre parcel was donated to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust by Adelaide McIntosh.

The Casco Bay Group is made up of a series of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that were deposited in the Ordovician, between 450 and 470 Million years ago (West and Hussey, 2016). Rocks of the Casco Bay Group are found in a 100-mile-long northeast-trending belt extending from Portland in the south to just south of Bangor in the north (West and Hussey, 2016).

  • Modeling Wind and Tidal Circulation in Casco Bay, Maine: a Preliminary Study Ernest D
    Modeling Wind and Tidal Circulation in Casco Bay, Maine: a preliminary study Ernest D. Truea , James P. Manningb aMathematics Dept., Norwich University, Northfield, VT 05663 USA bNortheast Fisheries Science Center, Woods Hole, MA 02543 USA Abstract One of the most important coastal regions along the 3500 mile coast of Maine is Casco Bay, which covers approximately 229 square miles with hundreds of islands, islets and exposed ledges. Casco Bay includes the entrance to Portland Harbor at the western corner of the Bay. Commercial fishing, aquaculture farms, recreational activities and imports and exports of numerous commodities through Portland Harbor make this bay one of the busiest regions on the Maine coast. There is speculation that the red tide occurrences within the Bay are due to germination of local cysts or intrusion from offshore waters, or both. The purpose of this study is to offer a preliminary investigation of the general circulation of the waters in the Bay by applying a finite-volume numerical coastal model (FVCOM) that incorporates bathymetry, tidal forcing, wind stress and river discharge from the Kennebec/Androscoggin River east of the Bay. The horizontal resolution of coastline and island boundaries used in the study is sufficient to capture small eddy production and decay, and identify local circulation dynamics. The focus is on the Spring circulation, with particular attention given to possible paths that move A. fundyense into and out of the Bay. The influences of wind, tide, and Kennebec/Androscoggin river intrusion are examined separately. The Portland Channel, Hussey Sound, Luckse Sound and Broad Sound provide four pathways for the exchange of water between the inner and outer regions of the Bay.

  • Harpswell Neck Area, Maine
    MARITIME SEDIMENTS AND ATLANTIC GEOLOGY 257 Low pressure metamorphism in the Orrs Island - Harpswell Neck area, Maine Gilbert R. Dunn* and Helen M. Lang** Department of Geology and Geography, West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia 26506 Date Received April 18,1988 Date Accepted September 6,1988 The Orrs Island-Harpswell Neck area on the southern Maine coast experienced one major low-pressure metamorphic event, which was synchronous with D2 deformation. Metamorphic grade increases from southwest to northeast toward plutons outside the area. Isograds in pelitic rocks divide the area into garnet, staurolite, staurolite-andalusite, staurolite-sillimanite, and sillimanite zones. At the sillimanite isograd, andalusite began to be replaced by coarse-grained muscovite to form prograde pseudomorphs, while sillimanite formed in the matrix. At slightly higher grade, staurolite was replaced by muscovite pseudomorphs. and additional sillimanite formed. Isograd reactions deduced from changes in AFM topology were located in pressure-temperature space on the basis of experimental and thermodynamic data. The resulting petrogenetic grid constrains the pressure during metamorphism to between 2.3 and 3.0 kbars (230 and 300 MPa). Estimated temperature ranges for each of the metamorphic zones are as follows: garnet zone, <500°C; staurolite zone, 500 to 530°C; staurolite-andalusite zone, 530 to 570°C; staurolite-sillimanite zone, 570 to 590°C; and sillimanite zone, >590°C. Metamorphism in the Orrs Island-Harpswell Neck area is similar to M3 metamorphism in west-central Maine, because both events occurred at pressures where staurolite gave way to sillimanite at high grade, and both were related to plutons. Metamorphism in the study area differs from M3 in west-central Maine in that it produced andalusite at intermediate grade.

  • 1 Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We Urge You to Deny Central Maine Power's (CMP's) Applications for Its New E
    Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We urge you to deny Central Maine Power’s (CMP’s) applications for its New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project because this proposed transmission line would be bad for the people of Maine and Massachusetts and our economy and environment. CMP’s proposal is designed to provide big benefits to CMP shareholders and Hydro-Québec at the expense of New England. This harmful proposal would: Cut a brand new, 53-mile-long corridor across Maine’s western mountains, harming forests, streams, wetlands, wildlife, and scenic beauty; Suppress the development of clean renewable energy (like wind and solar) in Maine, which would provide greater economic and environmental benefits; and Fail to reduce climate change emissions, and could even increase them. Please reject CMP’s NECEC proposal. Its costs to our people and environment are too great. Maine and Massachusetts deserve better.

In yet another abortive attempt to settle the location of a new Casco Bay Terminal, the Portland Planning Board failed to act on a choice of Hobson's Wharf (at the foot of High St.); or the combined Custom House - Portland Pier site. Unanimous rejection of Hobson's Wharf was voiced by island residents, supplemented by peti­ tions signed by many who could not attend the August 7 public hearing. Custom House was favored more as the lesser of two evils, than an ideal solution in itself. Underlying the testimony was a repeated sug­ gestion that the City look again at the Easterly side of Long Wharf which might be negotiated with owner Tony DeMillo - who, it is understood, ,-1 ,-1 - might be willing to move his Marina to the westerly m side in a more protected area.
