The Sanford Steamship Company was incorporated in 1875; the wharf properties at several landings on the Penobscot River, and the steamer Cambridge and Katahdin having been owned previous to that time by a private association or firm, formed in pursuance of the laws of the State of New York, under the style of the Sanford Company, the line being generally known as Sanford's Independent Line. In 1875, these properties were all transferred to a new corporation, and the Sanford Steamship Company was incorporated and organized under the laws of Massachusetts. In January, 1882, by an enactment of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the corporate name of the Sanford Steamship Company was changed to the Boston and Bangor Steamship Company.
The boats now running on this line are the Katahdin, the Penobscot, the Lewiston and the City of Bangor, and during the season daily trips are made. The Boston & Bangor Steamship Co., which came into possession of this line some years ago, also owns the steamer Rockland, which runs between Bangor and Rockland.
