Transitions Waving good-bye to departing dandies, the finely dressed lady and her yachting friends mark the beginning, in 1902, of Camden's transition from an industry-based waterfront to one of recreation. The schooner-rigged Canadian woodboat MAGGIE ALICE lies at the dock, having recently unloaded wood for lime burning at the adjacent kiln. Their days were numbered.
