author:  Andrew J. Wahll 
description: "Popham Colony (Maine) Reader: 1602-2000" <br />This is a book of discovery and settlement in Maine centered on the site of the Popham Colony, sister colony of Jamestown, Virginia. While living in Maine (1966-1968)acolleaguerecounted tome the history of many towns as we would visit them to explain a HUD program. One of those towns was Popham Beach, Maine.In letters with my mentor Dr. David Beers Quinn, Emeritus Professor of Modern History at Liverpool University, England. I described my interest in the Popham Colony after reading "The History of the State of Maine" by William D. Williamson. I drove to St. Marys College in Maryland for my first meeting with Dr. Quinn, I suggested on the spur of a moment during our meeting, a trip the National Archives in Washington, D.C. to search their map collection for any cartographic material that might show the coast of early Maine and in particular the environs at the mouth of the Sagadahoc (Kennebec) River. During this first visit to the Archives, I had a "eureka moment"when I found Map 15 dated 1857 by U.S. Army that showed Hunniwell's Point, a peninsula that was the site of construction of the massive Civil War Fort Popham. Immediately to the west of the constructuion site of Fort Popham is Sabino Head which conforms to the shape of 1607 Fort St. George (Hunt Plan of Fort St. George). I sent a copy of the map toDr. Quinn who replied saying I had made a cartographic discovery that showed the early coastal configuration at the mouth of the Kennebec River. I described my plan to write a book on the colony, he observedI was knowledgeable but not to invent anything anduse only period sources. The book took the form of a collection of all records and period descriptions from 1602 to 2000 when the colony was lost then rediscovered. Starting in 2000 the colony was excavated by JefferyP. Brain, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, MA who with his team of excavators and archaeologists found evidence of the 1607 colony. For three seasons I and many others had the privilege of participating in the excavation. Dr. Quinn included my cartographic discovery in his work "English NewEngland Voyages 1602-1608" published by Hakluyt Society, second series". This was a great honor for me. Mr. Wahll presented a paper and map on the Popham Colony site at the Land of Norumbega Conference held in Portland, Maine in December, 1988.
