Boston & Bangor Steamship Co. Wharf
The Boston & Bangor Steamship Co. ( B&B S.S Co Wharf) was located at the foot of Commercial St. in Belfast. In June, 1856, the new steamboat wharf which had been built by Captain James Miller, and which was later purchased and enlarged by the Sanford owners, was first used for their steamers. In 1867, during this season, the "Sanford" owners purchased Miller's Wharf, which they enlarged and added passenger and freight depots. In 1882 the name of the Sanford Steamship Company was changed to the Boston and Bangor Steamship Company. It appears in this photo that the Staemship is bringing passengers to Belfast while the horse and buggies wait for their arrival on the wharf.
