Maine Maritime Museum

After LL Bean we looked for something to do. My GPS said the Maine Maritime Museum was close, so we went there. Doug works at a shipyard just up the river in Bath, so we caught a few glimpses of that too. The museum is built on the site of an old Schooner shipyard from the late-1800's to early-1900's.
