After our disappointing visit to Searsport on Friday, it was very refreshing today to find the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. The museum is a wealth of information on ship-building in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I picked up a couple of books, and took several photographs, including this one of an HO scale model of a turn-of-the-century shipyard that was in Bath (the museum is situated on the original site, and features restored buildings from two shipyards).

We didn’t have time to go through the entire museum, but we’ll make a point of spending a couple of days at the museum on our next visit to Maine.
