Bath, Maine, USA

People, Pictures and News From the Past

Where is Bath, Maine, USA? 

Bath, Sagadahoc, Maine, USA
Abenaki Indians called the area Sagadahoc, meaning "mouth of big river." It was a reference to the Kennebec River, which Samuel de Champlain explored in 1605. Popham Colony was established in 1607 downstream, together with Fort St George. The settlement failed due to harsh weather and lack of leadership, but the colonists built the New World's first ocean going vessel constructed by English shipwrights, the Virginia of Sagadahoc. It provided passage back to England. Most of Bath, Maine was settled by travelers from Bath, England.
