Last day in Boothbay

The weather forecast was not good for today with heavy rain arriving midday. As it was our last day in Boothbay Harbour we went for a last look at the ocean













This is East Boothbay.










The sea was much calmer than the stormy waters of the previous day.




It wasn't long before the rain started to fall. The rain was torrential, the back end of a hurricane apparently, so we retreated to a cafe in town, one of the few that were still open.



The rain eased off in the afternoon giving us the opportunity to visit the Boothbay Railway Village. The purpose of the village is to conserve and display artifacts and structures from the period of the mid nineteenth cent onwards.



There are some of the buildings in the village that you pass when travelling on the steam train.





In one of the large barns there is a large collection of vintage cars.






1940 Cadillac















1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud








1959 Jaguar Mark IX

1957 Ford Thunderbird













1958 Ford Thunderbird Tudor series











1931 Pontiac Sport Coupe

1922 Peerless



















1929 Buick 'Silver Anniversary'












1921 Studebaker Special 6
1931 Chevrolet



















1927 Chevrolet Imperial Landau Sedan




We couldn't leave until we had a ride  on the narrow gauge steam railway

    Glad you got out and about both before and after the storm ... beautiful ocean scenes and always enjoy the old cars. My parents owned a Thunderbird of about that vintage right around the time we got married -- we were so envious of it! I can't believe how huge they look now --- all those fins. Jeez!

    The car museum looked a fine one. A good place to be if the weather is bad.
