English colonists landed at the mouth of the Kennebec in 1607, the same summer as Jamestown, built a fort and a storehouse, and constructed the Virginia, the first English ship built in the Americas. One Maine winter was enough: the survivors sailed home in 1608, half of them aboard the ship they had built. New England's first colony is a plaque and an archaeological site by a beach. The Virginia's reconstruction sails out of Bath.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
