Portsmouth Naval Shipyard

Die Portsmouth Naval Shipyard ist eine Marinewerft der United States Navy. Die Werft liegt nahe Kittery, Maine am Ufer des Piscataqua River, und nicht, wie vermutet werden könnte, am gegenüberliegenden Ufer in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Nicht verwechselt werden darf die Werft auch mit der Norfolk Naval Shipyard, die in Portsmouth, Virginia liegt. Geschichte Die Werft wurde bereits im Juli 1800 gegründet, womit sie die älteste durchgehend aktive Werft der US Navy ist. Das erste dort gebaute Schiff war das Linienschiff Washington, das 1814 vom Stapel lief. Zum Schutz der Werft und des Hafens von Portsmouth wurden vom 18. Jahrhundert bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs mit Fort Washington, Fort Stark, Fort Constitution und Fort Dearborn in New Hampshire sowie Fort Sullivan, Fort McClary und Fort Foster in Maine insgesamt sieben Küstenbefestigungen erbaut, die aber alle nie in direkte Kampfhandlungen verwickelt wurden. Bekannt wurde die Werft für die 1905 dort abgehaltenen Friedensverhandlungen, die mit dem Vertrag von Portsmouth den Russisch-Japanischen Krieg beendeten. Auf dem Werftgelände wurde auch The Castle unterhalten, ein Militärgefängnis, in dem neben Personal der Navy und des Marine Corps auch deutsche U-Boot-Fahrer einsaßen. Das Gefängnis wurde 1974 geschlossen. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg ließ die Werft zahlreiche U-Boote vom Stapel. Anfang der 1950er Jahre entwickelte die Portsmouth NSY mit der Albacore das erste Versuchs-U-Boot mit der hydrodynamisch optimierten tropfenförmigen Rumpfform, und daraus dann die Barbel-Klasse, die erste Anwendung des Rumpfes in regulären Einheiten. Im Verlauf des Kalten Krieges fertigte die Werft auch Atom-U-Boote, darunter die unglückselige Thresher und zwei weitere Boote der Thresher-Klasse. 2005 wurde die Werft auf die Liste des Base Realignment and Closure Committee gesetzt, danach sollte die Werft 2008 geschlossen werden. Nach Protestaktionen der Angestellten, die eine Save-Our-Shipyard-Kampagne starteten, wurde die Werft am 24. August 2005 von der Liste entfernt. Weblinks Offizielle Website (engl.)

Gero Island

Gero Island is a large island on Chesuncook Lake in Piscataquis County, Maine, United States. The island is 3,175 acres (1,285 ha) in area, with all but 133 acres (54 ha) regulated. It is known for exemplary natural communities of slender rush as well as white pine forest and lower elevation spruce-fir forest. Chesuncook Lake was created by damming the West Branch Penobscot River in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of the island's original trees were cut in the 1920s, while more were cut in the 1980s during a spruce budworm outbreak. There are four campsites along the shoreline. The island is part of the Maine Natural Areas Program and is considered publicly owned reserved land, open for camping and recreation year-round. References

Veterans Memorial Bridge (Portland, Maine)

Veterans Memorial Bridge is a bridge in Maine, United States, connecting the cities of Portland and South Portland. The bridge spans the Fore River and is part of U.S. Route 1. The original Veterans Memorial Bridge was built in 1954, and was described as 'rapidly deteriorating' prior to its demolition. Designated a top infrastructure priority by Maine state government, a new bridge was built between 2010 and 2012. General contractor Reed & Reed, of Woolwich, was awarded the rebuilding contractor. Reed & Reed estimated the new bridge would stand for a century. References
Holy Cross Church, Lewiston

Holy Cross Church (French: Église Sainte-Croix) was a church at 1080 Lisbon Street in Lewiston, Maine, United States, and was part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland. The church held its final Mass on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Msgr. Rene Mathieu was the celebrant, alongside Pastor Daniel Greenleaf and many other priests. Building Over the main door of the church is the motto O Crux ave, spes unica (Hail to the cross, our only hope) - a line from the ancient Latin hymn Vexilla Regis Prodeunt. The inside of the church is adorned with important statues, a wooden carved altar, and gold leaf wrought iron railings. The stained windows also depict important Catholic Saints, and each window was donated by a parishioner. History The original church celebrated its first mass on September 14, 1924. The parishioners were largely of French Canadian heritage; after some early controversy over the name of the church, by 1926 the French name Église Sainte-Croix was adopted and the membership became almost entirely French American, as the Irish-American members joined St. Patrick's Church. A new church was constructed after World War II, and an extensive renovation was completed in 1985. Many marriages took place at Holy Cross Church and a recent book was written by Youville Labonté which relates to the genealogy involved. The church held its final Mass on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Msgr. Rene Mathieu was the celebrant, alongside Pastor Daniel Greenleaf and many other priests. Facilities The Catholic Church of Lewiston has a library of some 3,500 items.

Bennett Bridge

The Bennett Bridge is a historic covered bridge in rural northern Oxford County, Maine. The bridge, now closed to traffic, formerly carried Littlehale Road over the Magalloway River, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of the village Wilsons Mills in Lincoln Plantation. Built in 1901, it is one of Maine's few older covered bridges. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The sign on the bridge itself has a date of 1898. That date is also cited on the Lost Bridges site maintained by the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges Description The bridge is a Paddleford truss bridge, a type of truss in which diagonal cross members are connected to King posts, fastened by metal bolts. It is 92 feet (28 m) in length, resting on granite abutments. Its total width is 16'8", with an interior roadway width of 14'8". Its total height is 23 feet (7.0 m) (from roadbed to top of gable), with a portal clearance of 15 feet (4.6 m). Its sides are clad in vertical boarding roughly 2/3 of the way to the roof; the ends are also clad in vertical boarding above and around the portals. The bridge is further stabilized by wire cables at each corner, which are anchored to concrete settings about 25 feet (7.6 m) from the bridge. Bennett Bridge was built in 1901, to provide access from a handful of small farms to Maine State Route 16, the major road through Lincoln Plantation. It spans the Magalloway River at a point where it is swiftly flowing, passing through a fairly narrow valley in the hilly region. The bridge saw heavy use from logging trucks that also worked in the area, and was closed to traffic in 1985.

Abbott Memorial Library (Dexter, Maine)

Abbott Memorial Library is the public library of Dexter, Maine. It is located at 1 Church Street, in an architecturally sophisticated Renaissance Revival structure, built in 1894 as a gift from George Amos Abbott, a local mill owner. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Architecture and history Abbott Memorial Library is located in the heart of Dexter's main village center, on a block bounded by Church, Hall, and Pleasant Streets, and Main Street Hill. The sloping block is landscaped, with an open lawn raised from Church Street with benches in front of the library, and a small garden in the rear, along with memorials to the town's military. The library is a T-shaped masonry structure, one story in height, with a brick exterior, granite foundation, and a hipped slate roof. The main facade, facing west toward Church Street, is five bays wide, with a projecting gabled entry at the center. The gable is fully pedimented, with a modillioned and dentillated cornice that continues around the building. The pediment houses a floral design surrounding a central medallion. The entrance below is set in a tall round-arch and keystoned opening, the arch supported by attached Ionic columns and flanked by floral motifs. The building cornice is adorned with swags, and incised with the names of prominent European literary figures. The projecting section at the rear is a later addition. The building was built in 1894 to a design by J. Williams Beal, and is an unusually sophisticated work for its setting in the rural interior of Maine. It, and the land on which it sits, were the gift of George Amos Abbott, owner of Amos Abbott and Company, a local woolen mill. The land and building cost $32,000.

Schenck High School

Schenck High School is a public high school in East Millinocket, Maine, United States. It is a part of the East Millinocket Schools. It serves East Millinocket, Medway, and Woodville. Name and history It is named after Garrett (Bush) Schenck, who made a large donation to build the first Schenck High School building in 1927. Schenck, who was vice president of the International Paper mill at Rumford Falls, helped establish the first Katahdin-region paper mills in East Millinocket and Millinocket. In 1957 the current campus was built, and it opened the following year. The previous campus was renamed Opal Myrick Elementary School. In 1966 an addition in the current Schenck building opened. In 2011 Opal Myrick Elementary School moved into the Schenck campus; the enrollment in the elementary school declined, so the district decided to close the standalone Myrick building. In early 2014, it was suggested that the school be renamed after Gloria MacKenzie, an area woman who donated $1.8 million to fix a leaking roof at the school after winning the powerball lottery. Renaming the school would also avoid using the word 'Schenck', which is commonly pronounced as the derogatory term "skank". The Mackenize family later indicated that they did not want the school renamed. Sports In Maine, high school sports are categorized by the number of enrolled students. In the mid-1980s, Schenck switched from Class B to Class C, a changed that ignited controversy. In 2005, Schenck High School was reassigned to Class D sports by the Maine Principals Association, which oversees school sports. In that year, Schenck's enrollment dropped below 230 students to 216.

Marinefunkstelle Cutler

Die Marinefunkstelle Cutler gehörte zu den größten Längstwellensendern der Erde und diente der Übermittlung von Nachrichten zu getauchten U-Booten im Nordatlantik und der Polarregion. Die bei Cutler, Maine (USA) gelegene Anlage ging am 4. Januar 1961 in Betrieb und verfügt über zwei gleichartige Längstwellenantennensysteme, die gemeinsam oder getrennt betrieben werden können. Jedes dieser Antennensysteme besteht aus einem 304 Meter hohen Zentralmast, sechs 266,7 Meter hohen Ringmasten in einem Abstand von 556 Metern und sechs 243,5 Meter hohen Ringmasten in einem Abstand von 935,7 Metern. Zwischen dem Zentralmast, zwei inneren Ringmasten und einem äußeren Ringmast ist jeweils ein rhombusförmiges Kabelnetz gespannt, dessen Speisung vertikal in der Nähe des Zentralturms erfolgt. Dadurch ergibt sich von oben eine Figur ähnlich einer sechsstrahligen Schneeflocke. Die Speiseleistung der Anlage, die ursprünglich auf 17,8 kHz und später bei 24 kHz betrieben wird, beträgt maximal 1800 kW. Jedes der Antennensysteme kann als eine Schirmantenne verstanden werden, wobei der Schirm durch die nahezu waagerecht gespannten Kabel zu den äußeren Masten gebildet wird. Durch die Mastbefestigung kann der Schirm eine größere Spannweite haben ohne durchzuhängen oder schräg wieder zur Erde zu führen. Der Schirm bildet die Dachkapazität der Antennen und erfordert als Gegenelektrode ein umfangreiches Erdungsnetz. Die Besonderheit der Antennen ist die Nutzung der Speiseleitungen zum Schirm als Strahler, wodurch der Zentralmast geerdet sein kann. Alle Kabel und Speiseleitungen sind von Masten und Abspannungen isoliert; die Spannung gegen Erde beträgt bis zu 200 kV. Die Antennen verfügen über ein mit Netzfrequenz betriebenes Enteisungssystem (Stromwärme) mit 3 MW thermischer Leistung. Während der Enteisung kann die jeweilige Antenne nicht benutzt werden. Die Anlage ist Bestandteil der Naval Computer and Telecommunications Station (NCTCS), die aus etlichen Gebäuden und Anlagen entlang der Küste besteht und bis Oktober 2000 von Militärpersonal der Navy betrieben wurde. Inzwischen kümmert sich eine Cutler Entwicklungsgesellschaft um die verbliebenen Dienste und um die zivile Umnutzung und den Verkauf der Areale und Einrichtungen des wilden Küstenabschnittes. Quellen
Babb's Bridge

Babb's Bridge is a covered bridge spanning the Presumpscot River on Hurricane Road, between the towns of Gorham and Windham in Cumberland County, Maine. Built in 1976, it is a replica of a 19th-century bridge that stood on the site until it was destroyed by arson in 1973. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was delisted in 2023. Description and history Babb's Bridge is located on the Presumpscot River, carrying Hurricane Road between central-western Windham on the east side and northern Gorham on the west side. It is a single-span queenspost truss bridge, with a total structure length of 79 feet (24 m) and a width of 13 feet 9 inches (4.19 m). Its end portals have a posted height limit of 10 feet (3.0 m). It is covered by a gabled roof, and its side and end walls are finished in vertical board siding. The present bridge is a reconstruction, dedicated in 1976, of an earlier bridge, which was destroyed by arson in 1973. The exact date of construction of the older bridge is a matter of debate. Some sources give a date as early as 1843, while the state and other sources maintain a date of 1864. The 19th-century bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 as a joint effort of the Windham and Gorham Historical Societies. Following its destruction, the towns petitioned the state to build a replica, instead of replacing the bridge with a modern structure of steel and concrete. The present bridge was built, in part as a community effort with donated materials and labor, using techniques that might have been used in the construction of the original. In 2014, vandals cut holes in its roof to allow people to jump into the river below. On August 23, 2024, a dump truck transporting crushed gravel and exceeding the 3-ton weight limit fell through the bridge deck, causing significant damage and closing the bridge for safety assessments and repairs. At the time, repairs were estimated to take months in the "best-case scenario". The driver suffered minor injuries and was issued a citation by Maine State Police the next day for a "bridge violation, causing damage to the bridge due to excessive weight".

Lovejoy Bridge

The Lovejoy Bridge is a historic covered bridge in South Andover, Maine. It is a Paddleford truss bridge, which carries Covered Bridge Road over the Ellis River, about 9 miles (14 km) north of US Route 2. Built in 1868, it is one of a small number of 19th-century covered bridges remaining in the state, and it is the state's shortest covered bridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Description The Ellis River cuts a meandering course through the town of Andover, joining the Androscoggin River at Rumford Point. There has probably been a bridge at this site in southern Andover since the early 19th century, as the river course narrows sufficiently, and provides a crossing point for people traveling between Rumford Point and the main village of Andover, which is located further north. This bridge was built in 1868, but it is known that a small village already existed nearby, suggesting the existence of a previous bridge. The bridge is 70 feet (21 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) wide, with a roadway width of 17 feet (5.2 m) and an internal clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m). It rests on abutments built out of large granite blocks. The bridge has a gabled roof, giving it a total height of 22 feet (6.7 m). Its sides are sheathed in vertical boards, and the gable ends have been trimmed. The bridge was reinforced in 1984 to support local traffic.
