Deer Isle fishing village on Penobscot Bay
Stonington sits at the tip of Deer Isle and is one of Maine's busiest lobster ports. Its working harbor is crowded with fishing boats and lined by a compact old downtown.
The town grew in the late 1800s around granite quarrying on the surrounding islands. As the granite industry declined, commercial fishing became the dominant livelihood.
