Scenes Under a Blue Sky in Cozy Corea

People and Vessels: Early Portraits of Monhegan Island
The people of Monhegan Island are and always have been rugged individualists who, for better or for worse, have needed to cooperate with one another. The island's name means "grand island." It sits isolated at the outside of Muscongus Bay, about 12 miles offshore. There's only one good harbor. By… SEE MORE
