Coast Guardsmen Seek Boathouse at Fort Popham Maine
Coast Guard officials push for a new boathouse and ramp at Fort Popham on Hanniwell Point within Maine State Park. The plan faces legal hurdles due to a 1924 grant reserving state use and federal reversion, with coop efforts offered but no land transfer yet. The Coast Guard argues a partial lease would protect the park and sustain the Popham boat station, while the state weighs possible legislative relief.
