Description

Bangor, the "Queen City of the East," is situated in lat. 44° 40' N., and long. 68° W., at the head of ship navigation on the Penobscot, the largest river of Maine, about thirty miles from its entrance into the bay of the same name, and some sixty miles from the sea. It is distant N. E. from Boston nearly 250 miles, by rail, and W. from St. John, New Brunswick, a little more than 200 miles; the distance from either of these points by water is about the same as by land. It is reached from the West by day and night trains from Boston and Portland, and by a line of first-class passenger steamers making daily trips each way between Boston and Bangor during the summer months, and from two to four trips weekly the remainder of the year. Two trains daily, to and from Bangor, furnish Eastern connections with St. John, Halifax and all important points in the Maritime Provinces.
