In 1839 the midcoast towns of Thomaston and Rockland were shipping lime, burned in kilns from local limestone, by sloop to Boston and southern ports. Hallowell and Gardiner, on the Kennebec above the coast, handled river trade in timber and farm goods, and their wharves served a region that still measured its year by the lumber season. Across the northeast frontier, Maine and Britain had not yet settled the boundary, a dispute that would not be resolved until the Webster-Ashburton treaty of 1842. Residents of these river and harbor towns watched the tides and the spring freshets closely, since a high flood could carry away a dam or a wharf in a night.
