CITY OF BANGOR at Campground Wharf, Northport, Maine

This image shows the arrival of the steamer CITY OF BANGOR at the Bayside Camp Ground wharf in Northport, Maine.
A crowd of greeters and passengers are seen flocking the wharf, a familiar but exciting scene that took place regularly throughout the summer.
The sidewinder steamers were for decades the way rusticators and tourists would have journeyed up the coast from Boston and points south.
