Excerpt from An Isleboro Sketch
From gray sea fog, from icy drift,
From peril and from pain,
The home-bound fisher greets thy lights,
O hundred-harbored Maine!
Whittier.
Samuel Champlain, the intrepid French explorer and religious enthusiast, is believed to have been the first white man who sailed upon Penobscot Bay. Captain George Waymouth, who came after him in 1605, took possession for England and set up a cross upon its shores near where is now the city of Belfast. Waymouth marvelled at the magnificence of this wonderful by with its broad, deep waters and great river, writing home that "many who had been travellers in sundry countried and in most famous rivers, affirmed them not comparable to this - the most beautiful, rich, large, secure harboring river that the world affordeth."
