Living on the river

Here at Fiddler's Crotch, we see some wonderful sights on the Kennebec. Destroyers, built just upriver at the Bath Iron Works, seem to fill the river as they return from sea trials. And every once in a while, we get a real treat, like today's sighting of the Pride of Baltimore, heading down to the sea.

  3. The Times-Record published the photo above on Monday and gave me a photo credit -- my first. But no cash. Here's a small online version:

  4. What a treat to see Pride of Baltimore on the Kennebec! Haven't seen her since Bristol '96.
