Castine is probably one of my favorite communities on the Maine Coast. Castine is a quaint,
historic seaport rich with maritime history and architecture with a small selection of excellent
shops and restaurants. I inform my customers that this is NOT a busy, shopping mecca like
Camden or Bar Harbor, but if you like a taste of a relaxed, coastal village that is unspoiled,
take our trip over at lunchtime or on Friday for dinner.
Castine is one of the oldest villages in all of North America and has been continuously
occupied since the 1600's. For historians, Castine was the site of the rather well known naval
battle called the Penobscot Expedition. This is considered by many as the worst naval defeat
in US history. Castine is also home of Maine Maritime Academy, my alma mater, most agree
in the industry that it is the finest maritime institution in the world.
We provide a wonderful brochure with a brief history and map of the village that you can read
on your way over to Castine.
