Castine in Coastal Maine has history–having had 4 nations, plus the native Americans, claim this spot for their own. America’s independence from England has roots here. Our memories are full of 2015’s visit of L’Hermione, a replica of the French frigate that brought Marquis de Lafayette to our shores and then sailed up the coast to reconnoiter around Castine in order to gather intelligence about the British. Explore Castine during your next seaside vacation. There are many stories here to discover!
