Last fall I spent a week in Acadia National Park. I’ve been to Acadia many times before and was looking for new places to explore. My “search” lead me to Acadia’s Schoodic Peninsula. The Schoodic Peninsula is fantastic, and the communities outside the park are classic ME. Beach Cliff Sardines was taken in one of these communities, Prospect Harbor. At the time it was taken I was unaware of the story this sign, this piece of Americana had to tell. Fellow Baltimore Camera Club member Kathleen Hill pointed me to an article telling of a sardine canning factories closing. The last factory in the US to can sardines, Beach Cliff Sardines in fact.
