Abandoned vessel, Great Cranberry Island

The waters around Mount Desert Island are littered with shipwrecks. If you're looking for more information about vessels lost or discarded in these waters, check out the Acadia Maritime Cultural Resources Inventory. The park uses this information to manage areas with potential maritime cultural resources.
