The Bar Harbor Inn Gift Shop is Now Online!
Great news for anyone that enjoys shopping in the Bar Harbor Inn Gift shop while on vacation here - you can now shop from home as well!!
If you are like me, after I go home I think "I should have bought that item while I was there!"
We have worked and are still working on adding new items to the online gift shop. Take a look and see if we have what you need (or want). Let us know if you want something we do not have.
Of course, we still enjoy seeing you in person shopping!

A Mystery Ship in Bar Harbor in 1914
I was talking about cruise ships in another post and went to look for some history I had heard about, but had forgotten. The following information was taken from this webpage: http://webpages.charter.net/suzuya/Liner.html
Kronprizessen Cecilie - Picture from an old website: Liners of the Golden Age
The Kronprinzessen Cecilie (Crown Princess Cecilie), a virtual sister to the Kaiser Wilhelm II, was the largest of the four NDL ships: 19,360 tons, 707 feet long, steam quadruple-expansion reciprocating engines, twin propellers drove her at over 23 knots, as fast as her sisters. The most obvious difference between two older ships, the Kaiser Willhelm Der Grosse; Kronprinz Willhelm and the two newer ones, the Kaiser Willhelm II and Kronprinzessen was the two newer vessels had two Promenade Decks rather than just one.
Kronprinzessen Cecilie's moment of fame was in August, 1914.
Cruise Ship in Bar Harbor
Yesterday, August 5th, we had a cruise ship out in the ocean near the Bar Harbor Inn. What a beautiful site, the ship "The Explorer of the Seas", is one of Royal Caribbean's and is 1020' long, carries 3114 passengers and 1185 crew! I'll never understand how they can get them to float!
Reminds me of a story I have heard of here that one morning people woke up to find a ship in the harbor without any warning! Please go to the history category to learn more.
My friend and I had to go out in the early morning to take a look and a few pictures. The ship is quite impressive. She was a little more on the creative side with the camera... take a look:
