About Rockport, Maine
Rockport is a town of 3,644 people in Knox County, on Penobscot Bay. Before Europeans came, the Wabanaki hunted and gathered along this coast and in its forests. Robert Thorndike, the first European settler, arrived in 1769. The settlement was called "the River" and then Goose River Village, and it was part of Megunticook Plantation, which became the town of Camden in 1791.
Villagers voted in 1852 to rename Goose River Village as Rockport, after its rocky shore. Later a quarrel over who would pay for a new bridge, known as "The Bridge Question," split Camden apart. On February 25, 1891, Rockport became a town of its own, taking half of Camden's people, three-quarters of its land and the lime and ice businesses that earned the most money.
- Lime for the CapitolStone from fifteen nearby quarries went into Rockport's kilns, which burned day and night, all 365 days of the year, and came out as lime that builders used in plaster and mortar. Three hundred casks of Rockport lime went to Washington, D.C., in 1817 for rebuilding the U.S. Capitol, which the British had damaged in the War of 1812.
- Ice clear enough to read throughEach winter Lily Pond gave up 50,000 tons of ice, which was shipped around the world. The Rockport Ice Company sold it as "Lily Pond Ice," said to be so clear that a person could read a newspaper through a thick block. Later a fire broke out in the lime sheds and jumped the water to burn the ice houses, and neither business was rebuilt.
- The last kilns on the coastA fire in 1907 destroyed many of the waterfront kilns, just as cement was taking the place of lime in new buildings. The kilns that survive in Rockport Marine Park are the last group of several kilns left on the Maine coast, and the Rockport Historic Kiln Area joined the National Register in 1970. A Vulcan locomotive that once hauled limestone from the quarries to the harbor is kept in the park too.
- Andre the SealHarbormaster Harry Goodridge adopted a harbor seal pup named Andre in 1961. Until 1986, Andre spent his winters at aquariums in Boston and Connecticut and swam back to Rockport Harbor every spring, drawing crowds, books, PBS documentaries and a 1994 feature film. Andre himself was there in 1978 when his statue was unveiled in Rockport Marine Park, and in 2018 townspeople raised $14,000 to restore it.
- Summer music since 1961Mary Louise Curtis Bok, who helped found the Curtis Institute of Music, ranked among Rockport's largest landowners, at one point holding most of the eastern shore, and she helped shape the landscaping around the inner harbor. Bay Chamber Concerts began in 1961 to carry on the Curtis Institute's summer music lessons. Mary Lea Park, beside the Rockport Opera House, honors Curtis Bok and the Rockport violinist Lea Luboshutz.
