Rockledge

Image of the Kennebec River shore of Popham in Phippsburg, Maine. Visible in image: A view from South Sugar Loaf Island in the Kennebec of Popham's shore line near the river's mouth. Cottages line the riverbank, and a dark strip shows where piling were driven into the sand to inhibit erosion, in some cases quite near the cottages' foundations. Above and behind stands the Hotel Rockledge. The building at right with cupola, flagpole, and boathouse is the Hunnewell's Beach Life Saving Station after being moved from the river's mouth in 1889.
