Additional Details:
Seaward from the eastern extremity of the city of Portland, the Atlantic presents an unlimited horizon to the view. The bold bluff which is surmounted by this park rises to 160 feet above the waters of the harbor. Three miles away appear the summer-populated islands of Casco Bay. The opening in the picture shows the narrow ship channel, guarded by modern fortifications and lighted by powerful lamps on high stone towers. Fort Allen of the Revolutionary period, once occupied this site.
