The ship, which towers 10 stories over the pier, is such a behemoth that it blocks views from part of downtown across Passamaquoddy Bay to Campobello Island, other islands, a lighthouse and the Bay of Fundy beyond.

Passamaquoddy Bay is on the border of Maine and New Brunswick and has a widespread reputation as a diving spot.

The islands in Passamaquoddy bay had been seized and occupied two months previous.

The title to the islands in the Passamaquoddy bay—the exact course of the boundary line running from the Atlantic coast to the river St. Lawrence—the line thence to the Lake of the Woods—were to be referred to three separate commissions, and in case of their disagreement, to some friendly power for final adjustment.

In the summer of 1784, Dr. Paine took possession of La Tete, an island in Passamaquoddy Bay, granted him by the British Government, for his services in the war.
