Island History & Notable Residents: Southport Island has a fascinating past. Originally inhabited by the Abenaki people, it was called Capanewagen, believed to mean “place where there is a swift current.” European settlers later referred to it as Cape Newagen, now the name of the island’s southernmost point. The first European settlement was established in 1623, and the town was incorporated in 1842. Margaret Hamilton, best known for playing the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, who summered on nearby Cape Island. Rachel Carson, renowned marine biologist and conservationist, whose love for the Maine coast deeply inspired her work. Why "Steamboat Landing"? The property is named after the steamboats that once transported summer visitors to the large rock at the end of what is now known as Dogfish Head (a more recent name, inspired by the brewery). These steamships were vital to regional transportation, sailing the Sheepscot and Kennebec Rivers until the 1920s. The site of the cottage is believed to have once been home to the original ticket office. 🌊 Things to Do Nearby Boothbay Harbor is just a 12-minute drive and offers a charming downtown filled with boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. Walk the footbridge to admire boats and yachts up close, ride the trolley for a laid-back tour, or head out on a whale-watching adventure.
