In the 18th and 19th centuries, Maine was home to many shipyards that produced wooden sailing ships. One of these yards was located in Pennellville Historic District in what is now Brunswick, Maine. This yard, owned by the Pennell family, was typical of the many family-owned shipbuilding companies of the time period. Other such examples of shipbuilding families were the Skolfields and the Morses. Even now naval shipbuilding and construction remain key to Maine’s economy, with the most important plants being the Bath Iron Works in Bath and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.

Meet the wealthy vacationers

With the Atlantic Ocean on its east, the state of Maine has an amazing coastline, spotted with some of the loveliest beaches, harbors and ports – all of which attract wealthy vacationers and retirees from across the country. One of the most frequented beaches here is the Old Orchard Beach which though popular during summers, is especially great for rich vacationers in the shoulder seasons of spring and fall – at these times the weather is mild, the sun shines brightly, and the summertime crowds are nonexistent. The beach here is seven miles long and so wide at low tide you’ve got plenty of space to stroll in the sand. Guests who would like a bit more action can go deep sea fishing, kayaking , canoeing, windfall rafting or book tours on lobster boats. Then again with over 40 restaurants and eateries gracing the Old Orchard Beach area, any luxury vacation would be incomplete without making time for fine dining experience. Fried clams, steamers, prime rib, pizza, Chinese, Greek, Mexican, Italian and, of course, lobster prepared a dozen different ways are just a few of the many dining options which attract rich guests and these places are ideal to strike up conversations with them. Alternately you can enjoy a night "out on the town" at one of the dozens of nightclubs offering entertainment as you mingle with wealthy vacationing singles. Live bands, jazz, and karaoke are just a few of the many nightly activities offered in season.

Bar Harbor is a coastal town that could well be the most requested vacation spot in Maine – and with good reason too. From awesome shopping and dining downtown, to whale watches and schooner day trips out on the sea, to bike rentals and canoe and kayak outfitters to take you out of town, there’s something for just about everyone. Here you can run into wealthy vacationers or rich retirees, walking around the town dock and viewing the boats and birds. Bar Harbor also has attractions for its more adventurous guests who can be found heading for the Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor’s neighbor on the island, where they can stroll along the Sand Beach, drive up Cadillac Mountain and drink in the view of the islands, or bike on the Carriage Trails. Finally apart from camping and hiking, the state is a popular destination for sport fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, boating and sport hunting - particularly deer, moose and bear – all activities which attract niche sections of the male population. And hence if you are careful to be seen at the right places at the right time, you are sure to attract the notice of a rich vacationing single or a wealthy retiree.
