While the scenery and wildlife on the border remain as dramatic and striking as ever, the waterfront of Eastport has seen a lot of changes in the forty five years since we motored the
French
away in fall, 1973. The boulders in the foreground were put in after the Groundhog Gale of 1978 wiped out much of the waterfront, including Wadsworth's Hardware store. The breakwater pier rebuild was completed last year. Wadsworth's again sold us enough hose to take on water while we were dockside. 2018 is their 200th anniversary. The store was established by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's uncle.
Towards the end of our picnic ashore the lobster buffet
has shrunk to a lonely few. They didn't last much longer.
