TER-cENTENNIAL
Of Birth Of American Ship
building Is at Hand.
popham Beach, Mouth Of Ken
nebeC, to Celebrate.
Sir George Popham In 1907 Built
Our First Vessel.

I;ath, Nc. March 31.-The tcr-cen-
tennial Of the birth Of American ship
building is to be celebrated in this city
Ecxt summer, presumably an entire
week during the month of August.
The occasion will be a big one, to
which Bath business men are waking
Up with remarkable enthusiasm, and If
plans already outlined are carried out,
the celebration will be a success in ev-
cry way.
To many people the fact that the first
ship ever built on the American CONT
nent was constructed on the shores of
the Kennebec river is known. She was
built during the fall and winter of 1907
by members of Sir George Popham's
colony near what is now known as Pop
ham Beach and was named the Virgin
ian.
She was a little craft of only few
tons and would hardly hold candle to
many of the smalI-sized schooners of
the present day, but she was said to be
a monster in those Colonial days and
served to carry a return party Of Eng
Iis!l co!onists back to the mother coun-
try.
After her construction, several other
vessels were built at Popham and the
industry gradually grew and at the
same time changed its geographical
location to a point farther up the river
until this city was reached and here it
has been carried on for 50 many years
that the city has achieved the reputa-
ton of being the greatest shipbuilding
city in the country.
In celebration of the 300th anniversa-
~ Of the birth Of this most important
Industry, the citizens Of Bath now pro-
nose to plan a program which will be
worthy of acceptance. They hope to Sc
cure enc or more warships here for the
week, have civic and marine parades,
an illumination Oh the water. exhibi-
tons Of the various models of marine
from the oldcn days to the
present dinners. dances and other So
cial affairs which will make the occa-
sion Il noteworthy one.
