Islander may run Bath to Boothbay Harbor service
Rumors say the Islander will shuttle Bath to Boothbay Harbor and the islands with two round trips daily, replacing Augusta service by train. Southport and Westport steamers are chartered to the government and removed from the line. Winter Harbor likely keeps a Wiscasset run, though costly for regular traffic. The Kennebec Journal has no comment on Southport and Westport.
