Meet us in Boston, then make sail for Bath, ME, where 19th century brick buildings and sidewalks add appeal to what has been called one of New England’s best small city destinations. Next is Rockland, a classic Maine town that just happens to be the lobster capital of the world. Need we say more? Then we’re on to enchanting Eastport with a population under 1,400 residents.
