What did the French do in Maine in the 17th century?
They settled the island of St. Croix just off of present day Calais and Robbinston in 1604. The settlement failed miserably. The people ran out of food, and didn't know that the winter was extremely brutal. When an unusually cold and snowy winter arrived early in the fall months of 1604, the people cut and burned almost every tree on the island. They could no longer keep warm, and couldn't survive the approximately 500 yard voyage to the mainland because there wasn't enough ice to walk on (densely salted water), and there was enough ice that as the tide changed from low to high and the river flowed it would come op into the boats and either flip them or sink them, drowning anyone in the canoes. The French, who didn't have the knowledge of the area that the Wabanaki did, died during that Winter, some were killed by disease and many froze to death. Only a few made it through the Winter.

What is the history of Christmas Cove in Maine?
Ever since Christmas 1614, when Captain John Smith dropped anchor in this picturesque spot, Christmas Cove has been a favorite of sailors. The protection is excellent, and it is not far off the east-west path. Christmas Cove is a busy little place, always full of movement, but it retains its wonderful, low-key atmosphere. Seals, mallards, and ospreys share the cove, along with a multitude of cruisers.

Alaska. The Aleutian islands extend west past 180 degrees longitude, much further west than Hawaii (which is only 178 degrees, 22 minutes west). This means that Alaska also is the US state that is (technically) furthest EAST of the Greenwich meridian, at 180 degrees.
Of the continental 48 states, Maine is the state that is furthest east.
