Canada and New England Cruise

Eastport, ME

Eastport is the easternmost port in the United States, and is terrifically photogenic; the very picture of what a small New England town should look like. With legions of fine old homes over-looking a distinctive Victorian brick downtown and the fair watersof the bay beyond. The waters of Passamaquoddy Bay and Cobscook Bay converge in Eastport generating some of the highest tidal ranges in the United States, alternately filling and draining the smaller bays beyond. For several hours the incoming tide actually roars through these “Cobscook Reversing Falls”.

Campobello Island is a Canadian island located in the Bay of Fundy and lies just off the shore of the most eastern town in the United States: Lubec, Maine. Campobello Island was the beloved island of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt who eventually made it their summer home. Their magnificent 34-room residence is the centerpiece of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, preserved as a memorial and as a symbol of the close relationship between Canada and the United States. In honor of their memory, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park preserves all of the natural beauties the Roosevelt family knew.
