Viewed from above, the twin islands of George and Joseph sit quietly in the emerald waters of Middle Bay, just off Lookout Point in Harpswell, Maine. Rocky and pine-covered, the islands appear like sentinels of the sea, shaped by wind and tide. Captured in this aerial photograph, their rugged forms are surrounded by the calm, jewel-toned bay, a serene contrast to their storied past. Named for two brothers who once ran a shipbuilding business along the nearby shore, George and Joseph stand as enduring reminders of Maine’s maritime legacy—anchored in both geography and history.
