The Penobscot River is a vital resource. In the 1700's it spawned numerous riverside communities, while the 1800's saw Bangor become the "lumber capital of the world", and Bucksport an international port renowned for shipbuilding. Crafted along the Penobscot were the "batteau" and "peavey", two inventions invaluable to the massive log drives that brought timber to the mills. Recently, water quality has improved dramatically fostering increased recreational uses and the return of Atlantic Salmon.
