The archives of its photography document the early days of mechanized fishing. The collection of Elmer Montgomery, born in South Thomaston in 1912, contains hundreds of finely-crafted photographs of boats, ships and waterfront scenes in Rockland and other midcoast communities prior to World War II. Maine’s first maritime museum, Penobscot Marine Museum is home to outstanding collections of marine art and artifacts, small craft, ship models and historic photography.
