Conserve less foundation

Meanwhile  our ridiculous eco-turncoat chums at CLF.02 are trying to rationalize wrecking the island that  they spent decades and immense amounts of money successfully fending off a slate of greedy governors.
Now?  They be like: .Sure, Sears Island is the estuarine center point of the entire Maine coast. It's where upper bay and lower river commingle. Where downeast and midcoast waters  wash their respective sides of this  single island. And where their respective - and actually biologically slightly different- wildlife, fishes shellfishes and fowl share lodging.   
Yes, Sears Island and the estuary it anchors are not replaceable.  That 's why the CLF spent decades fending off  would be developers form the island

But Investors are having a Big Sad over having to clean up an existing port site to drag Maine offshore wind turbines offshore.  



What's to be done?  Easy queasy:   CLF 2.0 cries "Climate Change!" Sudden silence. Then "Sacrifice! We must sacrifice everything we love, to defeat this menace. We  ARE the people. [It says so - in our promo material!] "

Their new owners grin... 

King has been a waste of space as US Senator. He should have been jailed when, as Maine governor, he violated the law and pressured US EPA into firing their their staffers for defending natural Sears Island.   We got that overturned. EPA's Region 1 chief  took the fall for Angus and was hired by former environmental group Conservation Law Foundation  as consolation.   CLF is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Money, tamely calling for the ravaging  of Sears Island  - after vigorously defending it for decades!   

Captain Sammon

 

So we need to prove that it was indeed shipped from  Bone Valley  south of Orlando,  sent from there by rail almost entirely via a now - vanished  port on in Boca Grande on florida's SW coast.  

A 1981 edition of the Boca Beacon has a romantic sea tale in it featuring "Captain Sammon, Master of the S/S Millinocket, which was calling at Boca Grande about every two weeks, transporting phosphate to Searsport, Maine, New York and other east coast ports" 

Wikipedia: "Processed phosphate from the Bone Valley region was loaded onto waiting ocean-going cargo vessels via the Seaboard Air Line Railroad at the dock located on the southern tip of the island."
