Description
This is a black-and-white image of the Sunbeam V at the Frenchboro dock. The Sunbeam has been making scheduled visits throughout the year for over a century. Frenchboro is a small island off the coast of Maine, with a year-round population of around 30 people. In the summer, the population increases to about 100. The village is located around Lunt Harbor and includes a school, post office, church, museum, library, firehouse, and a deli. The residents primarily make their living from lobster fishing.
Frenchboro also has the 1,159-acre Frenchboro Preserve, which includes 8.2 miles of shoreline, forests, wetlands, headlands, and beaches. The preserve's rocky shoreline is home to rare plants, and the interior provides a habitat for forest and wetland wildlife. The preserve also has over 13 miles of hiking trails.
Maine Seacoast Mission has been a trusted friend along the Maine coast since 1905. Rooted in a history of compassionate service and mutual trust, the Mission seeks to strengthen coastal and island communities by educating youth, supporting families, and promoting good health.
