It was a partially rainy day but we walked around Belfast on the rail trail that goes along the waterfront. We walked by a large multi building shipyard with an enormous boat lift. Nice small town on the mouth of the Passagassawakeag river. Yet another unpronouncable river that starts with "P".
Next we went to Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows bridge. The bridge is 450 feet high! Great views to the river and surrounding area including the fort. Fort Knox is one of those forts they wanted to build after 1812 to defend from future British attacks. This was finished around 1850 and didn't see any action. Very interesting long semi dark hallway around one or two of the outside walls. This fort is similar in design to the fort near Popham beach.
We got to Lubec around 7pm and walked around the waterfront. Still a small town with a number of fish processing buildings that are no longer used. Very foggy when we got there and then it cleared a half hour later. At the campground at the end of the day heavy fog had rolled in.
