Maine
Welcome to the great state of Maine! From the pristine wilderness of the conifer
and hardwood forests that cover 90% of the state, to the magnificent rocky coastline
of the north, to the long sandy beaches of the south, Maine is truly a scenic
wonder. Picturesque lighthouses and quaint fishing villages add to the natural
splendor of the coastline. Majestic homes of 19th century sea captains, many with
their original widow's walks, grace the seaside towns |

Maine
Maine isn't just about beautiful scenery and wilderness. Maine's history and economy
have been linked to vast timber reserves and to the sea; in this case, the Atlantic
Ocean. The abundance of timber served the state well as Maine became noted for
its shipbuilding in colonial times. The first ship built and launched in western
hemisphere was the Virginia launched in 1607. Shipbuilding continued to flourish
in Maine as the manufacture of wooden ships gave way to iron and steel. The first
atomic submarine, the Swordfish was built in Maine. On the other end of the scale,
Maine produces more canoes than any other state in the union |
