I finally got over to see the Castine Historical Society. They have an exhibit on the Penobscot Bay attack in 1789. Since I had read Cornwell's book, The Fort is was not anything new. There was a seven panel quilt on the History of Castine that was interesting along with information about old hotels and houses in Castine.
After the museum, I went down to Dyce Head Lighthouse where the American came ashore during the battle. There was a steep train down to the water that gave you a wonderful view of the bay. I enjoy lighthouse bot for there real reason for their existence and the metaphorical reason of what they represent. Hopefully, some photos below due in some justice.
Sarah spent the time relaxing at the Inn.
The stairs at the end of the path down to the water.
Pointing the way at the top of the stairs....
The view and ominous clouds....
