Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville, recognized the recent mystery: “Situated between Portland and Bar Harbor, Camden, Maine is surrounded by stunning landscapes perfect for adventure seekers, but it also has its fair share of cultural attractions, like the Camden Opera House. Its population surges each summer when the beach lovers arrive, but the off-season is still a prime time to visit.”
Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill, wrote: “I have taken a photo of this scene of Camden Harbor and the Penobscot Bay in every season, and it never fails to delight me.”
Others who recognized the harbor were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. who told us about Penobscot Bay, where Camden is situated: “The Bay was named for the Penobscot Indian Nation, which has inhabited the area for more than ten thousand years. During the Revolutionary War, the bay was the site of a humiliating American defeat in 1779 when a flotilla of 44 American ships was dispatched to the area to recapture the British occupied territory that was renamed by the occupiers as “New Ireland”.
Because of disputes and miscommunications between two colony fleet commanders, Solomon Lovell and Dudley Saltonstall, the Americans became stalled in their assaults. With the arrival of another British flotilla on August 13, 1779 the American fleet fled, beaching and burning their ships in the face of a superior British force. All 44 ships were either destroyed or captured, in what proved to be America’s worst naval defeat until Pearl Harbor, 162 years later.”
