"The City of Ships" and everything around it.
West Bath sits on the New Meadows River just across from Bath, Maine, a small city with outsized character. Bath built more ships than almost anywhere in America, and that history is still alive in the museums, the river, and the working waterfront. Head south down the peninsula and you hit some of the finest coastline in the state. Head north and you're in farmland and forest inside of ten minutes.
