This is a very beautiful area. You said there was a huge wharf there once, suggesting it was a sailing, shipping or bussiness hub. What happened?

steel vessels, the decline of the lumber trade, and possibly damage from the Saxby gale.
Wow! I see steel ships replaced wooden ones, the support industry for the wooden ships dies and the wharf needs capital improvements, then a storm and it’s cheaper to just send steel ships somewhere else. I never heard of the Saxby gale, I hope it didn’t kill to many people. I wonder if the government ever thought of rebuilding a commercial shipping center there?
No, we just fish the bay now for Lobsters and, scallop and there is a more accessible wharf in Alma. Best Lobster and scallops you'll find anywhere on this earth!
This place sounds like a seafood lovers delight. Do they have a busy shipping port in Alma?
No, just fisherman and the usual cocaine trafficking.
