Cox's Head coaling station
Image of the mouth of the Kennebec River seen from Cox's Head, Phippsburg, Maine. Visible in image: In the foreground, at the point of Cox's Head, stands the coaling station owned by the Morse Towboat Company. Downriver at left is Long Island, Georgetown, with the Upper and Lower Sugar Loaves beyond it. In line with the river's mouth are Seguin Island, most distant, and Pond Island. Downriver at right is Atkins Bay, with Popham Village along the shore. The church, Hotel Rockledge up on the heights, and Fort Popham are prominent. Wood Island lies beyond Fort Popham. Two steamboats of the Popham Beach Steamboat Company are moored in Atkins Bay. On the right edge of the photograph is the site of the original Popham Colony.
