Description
An interesting story follows..... about this secluded down east Maine coastal cove where now stands this abandoned smokehouse from bygone years.
Here a Milky Way sky accents the tranquil landscape in this place that has an odd name and accompanying story...read on.
Since back in the 1700's this location in Lubec, Maine has been known by the unusual name "Baileys Mistake"
The story goes something like this:
There was then a renowned sea captain, a Captain Bailey who was known and revered for his exemplary seamanship and sailing skills. It seems he, his ship and crew had left Boston, Massachusetts bound for Lubec, ME, with a cargo of lumber.
As they approached West Quoddy Head Light they were socked in by a heavy, heavy fog. Old salt that he was, Captain Bailey, his ship and crew turned wrongly into this cove only to run aground high and dry.
It was out of this embarrassment and pride that Captain Bailey and his crew, then came ashore at this place and there used that cargo of wood to build homes and settle at this location, never to again sail.
Bailey's Mistake to this day carries the history of that fateful voyage in its name..
So here's to old Bailey, who sailed the salt sea,
'Till his ship ended up where 'twas not s'posed to be.
