TravelAwaits Aug.2.2021 The historic city of Bath, Maine, known as “The City of Ships,” has been a thriving shipbuilding center for over 400 years. The Kennebec River’s navigable waterway, sheltered but accessible to the Atlantic Ocean, was key to creating the history of this thriving mid-coast Maine city. Situated on a deep and straight, five-mile stretch of river coupled with a shoreline perfectly shaped for constructing enormous ships, Bath quickly became known as a safe harbor for shipbuilding. Home to captains of industry, Bath’s architecture reflects an age of wealth and prosperity. Although it has seen economic ups and downs, Bath remains true to its ship-focused legacy. A visit to the pretty downtown area, with its beautiful brownstone buildings, unique shops, and fascinating history, is a must-stop on any coastal Maine road trip.
