    Dear All

    I am going on a trip in August in part to Bath Maine. I know there is a maritime museum in the area. Where else should I go? I look forward to your suggestions. 

    Thanks,

    Rachel

    Rachel –

    I highly recommend stopping by Maine's First Ship – the recreated pinnace Virginia of Sagadahoc. She's a reproduction of the first English ship built in North America, at the Popham colony in 1607-08. In 1608 she was used as part of the evacuation of the colony, and by 1610 ended up here at Jamestown. The site of Ft. St. George is worth a stop, too.

    There are two maritime-related institutions in Bath, Maine.

    Maine's First Ship - https://mfship.org/
    Maine Maritime Museum - https://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/

    If you want to go further afield, please let me know. Maine has other
    seafaring opportunities.
