This photographic tour of Portland, Maine, shows why the city has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. All the charms of Portland are on display as this keepsake book takes readers along 300-year-old streets through historic neighborhoods and past the large commercial buildings near the waterfront that house restaurants and stores. Also showcased are the busy wharves, which continue to serve traditional commercial interests along the Fore River, and the photographic journey extends to the islands outlying in Casco Bay, which are reachable by ferry.

Spotlighted locales include
- Portland Head Lighthouse,
- Eastern Promenade,
- Custom House Wharf,
- Monument Square,
- Bug Lighthouse,
- Maine State Pier,
- and other sights along Portland's key streets and neighboring islands.

The carefully curated collection of images captures a sense of this coastal gem of a city, which is growing and renewing itself by the day.
