Dive into the history of Portland Maine aboard our modern DUCK Boat and experience the past and present through our crew's fantastic and lively narration! As you wind through our cobblestone streets you will discover the story of a city that has risen from the ashes of war, catastrophe, and economic ruin before SPLASHING into the Casco Bay. From the Bay, you will see our stunning fortresses standing sentinel over the harbor. Meanwhile, graceful historic schooners sail past, guided by lighthouses dotting the rocky coastline. From here we guide you through our maritime industry and stories of Confederate privateers and German U-boats.
