This photographic tour of Portland, Maine, shows why the city has
become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. All
the charms of Portland are on display as this keepsake book takes
readers along 300-year-old streets through historic neighborhoods and
past the large commercial buildings near the
waterfront that house restaurants and stores. Also showcased are the
busy wharves, which continue
to serve traditional commercial interests along the Fore River, and the
photographic journey extends to the islands outlying in Casco Bay, which are reachable by ferry.
Spotlighted locales include
• Portland Head Lighthouse,
• Eastern Promenade,
• Custom House Wharf,
• Monument Square,
• Bug Lighthouse,
• Maine State Pier,
• and other sights along Portland's key streets and neighboring islands.
The carefully curated collection of images captures a sense of this
coastal gem of a city, which is growing and renewing itself by the day.
