Pristine Castine
A few more from the beautiful village of Castine, Maine. A little historical tidbit about this now very peaceful town:
Castine harbor was the site of one of our greatest navel losses in our history. The one in question was a battle with the British in the Revolutionary War. It was the largest American naval expedition of the war. The fighting took place on land and at sea around the mouth of the Penobscot and Bagaduce rivers at Castine, Maine over a period of three weeks in July and August. The Expedition was the United States' worst naval defeat until Pearl Harbor 162 years later, in 1941.
