Captain Billy’s book, 50 Ways to Be a Mainer, is both informative and funny, pointing out little known facts about Maine’s history, culture, and people. Sections in the book include humor in Maine, the story of Buck’s leg, and the history of the Aroostook County War, all of which make for an entertaining and enlightening presentation.
The talk is free; however, for planning purposes we ask that you RSVP to 633-0920. Light refreshments will be served and books will be available for sale and signing.
This guided walk will show you a side of Boothbay Harbor’s waterfront you’ve never seen! You’ll learn the ins and outs of lobstering, see the sites of shipbuilding, hear of early fisheries, lighthouses, rum running and even pirates. What industries used to line the shore? Were there sea serpents? Was there any Naval activity in the area?
Tour the shore with Maine’s largest walking tour company to hear all of the above and more, including shanties, as you walk in the footsteps of early Boothbay Harbor mariners! Appropriate for all ages and easy walking, it’s something the whole family will enjoy.
By reservation only; $20 for adults, $10 for children under 12, free for children under 5. http://www.redcloaktours.com or 207-380-3806
