Frenchman Bay lies between Mount Desert Island and the Maine mainland, and the Porcupine Islands are a cluster of small, densely wooded islets scattered across its waters off Bar Harbor. Their name is usually traced to the bristly spruce that covers them, which gives them the look of a porcupine's back from a distance. Painters and photographers were drawn to this stretch of coast in the late 1800s, when Mount Desert became a fashionable summer retreat and artists came to record its rocky shores and sheltered bays. The view across the water shows why the region held such appeal for visitors.
