Bangor Harbor from High Head, with schooner-5 GOVERNOR AMES at a MCRR wharf, and sidewheel steamer CITY OF ROCKLAND headed up the Penebscot. Shipyards and vessels line the Brewer shore in the background. notes: - Coffin identified this scene as Newcastle on the Damariscotta River, but research shows it be Bangor on the Penobscot. High Head and associated wharves were as far up the river as deep daft vessels could get, almost a mile below downtown. - image is copy of of print with title at bottom 'Harbor from High Head'
