August 28, 2008 at low tide along the bar that gives Bar Harbor its name while a tender (far right) brings passengers ashore from the cruise ship Caribbean Princess. The ship, which can carry approximately 3,100 passengers, was making its first visit to Bar Harbor. According to local harbor master Charlie Phippen, Bar Harbor is about a third of the way through its expected schedule of 109 cruise ships visits this year, which would be the highest total ever. "So far, it's gone fine," Phippen said of the local cruise ship season. (Bangor Daily News/Bill Trotter)
