== Quotes ==
“Isaac was a brave man…Crossing the ocean in a small sailing ship…He landed right near here in Frenchman’s Bay, and then he came to Collinsport and he liked it, and he decided to stay. Only it wasn’t called Collinsport then, because there was nothing here. Just a harbor and trees and lots of fish…Imagine having a town named after you.”—Episode 17.
