This view looks across Passamaquoddy Bay near Eastport, the island town at Maine's easternmost edge, where the bay forms part of the border with New Brunswick. The caption card's subject tags point to farms, which fits the region's mix of farming, fishing, and coastal trade in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Eastport's economy then leaned heavily on the sea, and the bay's strong tides and shifting shoreline shaped how people worked the land and water. Views like this one record a working landscape at a time when the rural coast was changing quickly.
