Burnham & Morrill Co., a widely known Portland, Maine landmark, has been in the canning business for more than a century. Back in 1867, George Burnham, who previously had been a partner in the canning firm of Rumery & Burnham, started his own business and was joined by John E. Burnham and Charles Morrill.

For nearly 50 years, the company was owned by the Burnham family, but in 1910 George B. Morrill, Sr. bought out the Burnham's interest and soon after, B&M moved from 13 Franklin Street, Portland, to its present site on Casco Bay. In 1965, the address of the B&M plant was redesigned as "One Bean Pot Circle." Since the company's beginnings in 1867, the excellence of B&M products has been recognized both nationally and internationally, a fact attested to by the numerous medals and awards received over the years from U.S. and world trade expositions.]]>

Fort Halifax was a fort on the north bank of the Sebasticook River. Its blockhouse, which survives, is the oldest blockhouse in the United States. It was part of a garrison built by the Province of Massachusetts Bay in 1754-1755 at the outset of the French and Indian War. On July 25, 1754, Major General John Winslow arrived with a force of 600 soldiers to establish the fort at the confluence of the Kennebec River with the Sebasticook River. The palisaded defense was intended to prevent Quebec and its Native American allies from using the Kennebec River valley as a route to attack English settlements.]]>

There are all kinds of omelet choices, but it's that chili-cheese that won our hearts. Rib-sticking Yankee chili is blended with creamy melted cheese inside an envelope of egg that is thin as a crepe. Morning luxury!

Fried potatoes that come on the side of egg dishes are especially good. They are a mixture of crisp chunks scraped right off the griddle and pieces that are nearly as soft as mashed potatoes. "Sometimes our potatoes are from Canada," proprietor Joely Sparks explained. "But the Maine ones are best. We boil and cut them every day. And we cook them in a butter/margarine mix. No oil."

The lobster roll is glorious, but we have saved the best for last: the Henry brothers' grandmother's lobster pie. Of all the good Downeast things you can eat along the coast, this casserole, elegant yet elementary, is one that mustn't be missed. Your ceramic dish contains plump sections of lobster – soft claw and chewy tail meat – drenched in butter, topped with a mixture of cracker crumbs and tomalley. It is a strange-colored dish, monstrous green and brown and pink, shockingly rich.]]>

A sign behind the counter at Harmon's Lunch warns customers. "This is not Burger king. You don't get it your way. You take it my way, or you don't get the damn thing." In our estimation that's fine, because Harmon's hamburgers are just right. Doneness is not an issue. They are all cooked medium – nice and moist but not oozing juice or pink inside. They are lunch counter patties par excellence, sizzled on a seasoned old griddle and sandwiched inside soft Portland-bakery buns that are buttered and heated just enough that they become ultra tender mitts perfect for hamburger-holding.]]>

The folks in Lewston Maine don't have to worry about getting their minimum daily requirement of Red Dye #10. A couple of Simone's Dogs does the trick and has been doing the trick for Lewiston for the past 98 years.

What's extra-neat about the bright, neon red dogs is that the red coloring runs into the yellow mustard, giving it a blood streaked appearance.

Rosie's is unique for a couple of reasons. First, it is the furthest east hot dog stand in the United States. Second it's probably the only hot dog stand serving actual stone ground mustard - the same factory mustard that used to be added to the canned sardines that were processed in the area.

Their dining room is kind of unique too, a picnic table overlooking Eastport's working harbor and the town wharf.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rosies-hot-dogs/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rosies-hot-dogs/ Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:47:29 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/rosies-hot-dogs/ 44.90667400 -66.98515500 <![CDATA[Red's Eats]]>

At $12 or so, Red's is not Maine's cheapest lobster roll. But it has consistently proven itself to be Maine's best. More than a whole lobster goes on the toasted, buttered bun - plenty of claw and tail meat. Melted butter and/or mayonnaise on the side. That's it. Nothing else. That's all a lobster roll should be. Aesthetic purity at its most delicious.

There seems to be nothing that Red's doesn't do well. Have since tried both their hot dogs and their batter fried clams. I'm not a fan of batter clams, but if I were, and thanks to Reds I might convert, I'd rate these excellent.

The hot dog is actually a "Sturdly." That's a hot dog with cheese. Had mine topped with onions, bacon and mustard, too. Asked why it's called a "Sturdly." The answer didn't shed all that much light, "It's a New York thing. They put celery salt on their hot dogs."]]>

The USNS Tanner (T-AGS-40), was built for the United States Navy as a fast Oceanographic Research Vessel in 1990.

The ship lay idle in the James River Reserve Fleet until 1996 when she began a conversion process. The sister ship, Maury (T-AGS-39), is now the third vessel of the name TS Golden Bear.

She was delivered to Maine Maritime Academy on 6 June 1997.

Today Maine Maritime students in majors leading to a USCG Third Assistant Engineer (Marine Engineering Operations, Marine Engineering Technology, and Marine Systems Engineering majors) or USCG Third Mate (Marine Transportation Operations major) licenses participate in training cruises aboard the TS State of Maine. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/training-ship-state-of-maine-former-usns-tanner-t-ags-40/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/training-ship-state-of-maine-former-usns-tanner-t-ags-40/ Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:46:56 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/training-ship-state-of-maine-former-usns-tanner-t-ags-40/ 44.38620800 -68.79673000 <![CDATA[Don McLean's House]]>

Eartha is a 3-dimensional scale model of our earth with mountains and landforms in full 3D, that rotates and revolves, simulating the earth’s real movements. Eartha was given the title of "World's Largest Revolving/Rotating Globe" by the editors of the Guinness Book of World Records in 1999, and still holds that record today. It measures 41.5 ft in diameter. Unveiled July 23, 1998 Eartha took two years to build and represents earth as it is seen from space. It rotates and revolves on a specially designed and built mechanized, cantilever arm.

The official measurements of Eartha were made for Guinness by several independent and licensed surveyors who found the Globe to measure 41 feet, one and one-half inches, slightly less than the rounded figure of 42 feet that was projected by DeLorme staff members. Still, 41' 1.5" was more than enough to surpass the former record-holder, the Globe of Peace in Apeccio, Pesaro, Italy (which is 33 feet in diameter and does not revolve or rotate).]]>

Scientists and writers the world over have attested to the Desert's authenticity.

Fort Constitution State Historic Site is located on a peninsula on the northeast corner of New Castle Island. It overlooks both the Pisquatua River and the Atlantic Ocean.

In 1791, the State of New Hampshire gave the United States the neck of land on which Fort William and Mary and a lighthouse were situated. The fort was repaired, renamed Fort Constitution and garrisoned with a company of United States artillery. Renovations, which included a wall twice as high as that of the colonial fort and new brick buildings, were completed in 1808. It is the ruins of this fort that are seen today.]]>

Fort McClary

For more than 275 years, Fort McClary stood to protect the approaches to the Piscataqua River at the southern gateway to Kittery, Maine. Named for New Hampshire native Major Andrew McClary who died at the Revolutionary War's Battle of Bunker Hill, Fort McClary stands today as one of the state's most important historic forts that dramatically preserves evidence of military history and changes in military architecture and technology.

The buildings presently on the site represent several different periods of construction as the fort was upgraded and modified to meet the area's defensive needs. The site was manned during five wars – The Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I. Like most other Maine forts, it saw little conflict.]]>

Fort Knox

(Not the one with the gold.)

Fort Knox, Maine's largest historic fort, features stunning military architecture and master granite craftsmanship. Constructed between 1844 and 1864 by master craftsmen and never fully completed, this is an unaltered example of a large mid-19th century granite coastal fortification. It is also New England's finest unmodified specimen of military architecture of the period.

The fort was strategically located on the narrows of the Penobscot River to protect the river valley from naval attack. Although it never saw combat, Fort Knox was garrisoned during the Civil and Spanish American Wars.

Fort Knox bears the distinction of being Maine's first granite fort. About 500 troops from Connecticut were stationed here during the Spanish-American War. They lived outside the main fort structure in large tents. Today, visitors can stroll the grounds of this great fort and learn about the rich history of the troops who served to protect American interests during the 1800s.]]>
