Across the water, a long, low wharf building flies the American flag, with a red-hulled fishing boat and a sailboat offshore and the weathered pilings of an old pier in the foreground. Rockland sits on Penobscot Bay, and its waterfront was long one of Maine's leading lobster and fishing ports, with wharves built around the lobster trade that made the city known. The scene centers on a working harbor of boats, piers, and shorefront trade rather than a leisure view.
