A maritime historian or local historian specializing in the coastal industries and traditions of New England, particularly Maine.
The late-night quiet of the Maine coast, a stark contrast to the bustling days of its fishing industry, often reveals untold stories in the hushed whispers of the wind and the gentle lapping of the waves against weathered wharves; these quiet hours, undisturbed by the clamor of daily life, allow for a deeper contemplation of the rich maritime heritage that shaped this region.
