The  Maine  Maritime  Museum  at  Bath

The next day I turned southward toward Providence.

The distance it had taken me three days to cover on

the way up, could have been covered in about 6 hours

on the way back, had I not stopped. But I stopped

at Bath, which I had bypassed on the way up, in

order to see the Maine Maritime Museum.

The museum has both indoor and outdoor components,

and covers a site that was a large boat building yard

in the wooden hull days. So, it consists of not only

the museum building, but the entire site with many of

the old workshops, as well as a ship or two.

I loved the ship models in the museum.

Part of what they do at the Maine Maritime Museum is restore and display old wooden ships. There were several at anchor.

They also keep one at dockside that

people can walk through at their leisure

(all included in the price of admission!).
