Pejepscot Paper Company, Belfast, Maine The Pejepscot Paper Company operated this pulpwood discharging facility in Belfast for inbound pulpwood from Canada carried by steamers and barges. The pulpwood would then be transported to the company's paper mills at Pejepscot. Pejepscot Paper had purchased and taken over the Duplex Roller Bushing property at the foot of Main Street in February and converted it into a pulp yard in 1917. The company tore down the Duplex Roller Bushing factory building in May and sold it to the Charles E. Bicknell & Co. of Rockland. Trestles were built to extend the railroad track for moving the pulp logs to the wharf. The Pejepscot facility burned in large waterfront fire in 1921 and moved to Bath in 1922.
