Bar Harbor, Maine
Tall ships unfurl their sails and make for the open sea, while harbor seals, porpoises and whales play in the wide blue bay.

Today, the main interest is Acadia National Park, a magnificent landscape of towering coastal mountains and coves, lakes, hundreds of streams and ponds, and Somes Sound, a splendid glacial-carved fjord.
