Small and beautiful Rockport is on the west side of Penobscot Bay, between Rockland and Camden. Fifty years ago, Rockport was home to lobstermen and fishermen who built their weirs in the harbor, but today the harbor is mainly for pleasure boats. Rockport was at the heart of the Midcoast lime industry, and you can still see remnants of several old kilns on the waterfront nearby. The kilns inspire images of the night sky aglow with fires. The harbor, crowded with kiln wooders, unloading cords of four-foot spruce logs and limers loading casks for Boston and New York. Great piles of white lime tailings are still visible in Walker Park and on the banks of the Goose River. One story is told that a locomotive is buried in one of these piles, and small boys dig and dream. If you like to take walks, follow Mechanic Street out towards Beauchamp Point where there a public access points to the rocky shore overlooking the harbor. Enjoy walking past large estates owned by some of today's most elite business people and former CIA operatives. Launch a kayak from the dock in the harbor nearby and paddle the harbor, keeping a watchful eye out for harbor seals.
