Odyssey Whale Watch

Highlight • Structure

We went on a whale watching tour. We spotted a humpback whale mother and calf. Incredibly impressive! Very difficult to photograph. You see the blow briefly, then a back and the whale is gone again. You almost never get to see them jumping out of the water, as you see in photos...

Portland Harbor is a very popular tourist destination. There are many things to do at the harbor including eating at one of the restaurants, watching the boats coming into and out of the harbor and enjoying the great sea views.

Eastern Promenade Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In the 1800s, cattle once roamed the grassy slopes of Portland’s Eastern Promenade. But as the city grew, so did interest in preserving this scenic area. Historian William Goold and Mayor James P. Baxter played key roles in securing land with views over Casco Bay. By 1905, the Olmsted Brothers were asked to shape the park’s design. Today, the Eastern Prom remains a vital green space.

Cleeves and Tucker Memorial

Highlight • Monument

This memorial celebrates Portland's founder, George Cleeves, and his partner Richard Tucker, who landed at the historic Portland Waterfront in 1633. From here you get sweeping views out across Casco Bay and the Eastern Promenade. This was the first public monument erected in Portland, two hundred and fifty years after the first colonial landing, in 1883.
