A wonderful day trip to Ogunquit, Maine.
The beach, friends, and of course ... the food !
Ogunquit, which meant "coastal lagoon" to native
Abenaki Indians, was first a village within
Wells, which was settled in 1641. The first
sawmill here was established in 1686, and
shipbuilding developed along the tidal Ogunquit River. Besides constructing
schooners and
brigs, local
shipwrights built the famous "Ogunquit
dory."
A fun filled day !
Hello Michael O! This is Jean Mooney. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Isn't that lighthouse in Wells, Maine. I really thought this was a professional advertisement for Ogunquit until I saw the lighthouse. I am going to look at the rest of your travels and photos now. : )
