[Poohbear123]

Yep, thats the ONE!

 

[TIdoublegaER]

OOOH! I've been waiting for that one! I wasn't sure it was released yet. I'll be on the lookout now!

in Maine.....not really sure which one is my favorite.....maybe the Portland Headlight .....
GOvernor King let the Maine people pick which drawing (that were submitted) for our state quarter.....

 

[jjskribs]

I love your lighthouses too pumba. Portland is beautiful but Nubble is my favorite. This is a beautiful quarter. I can't wait to get one.

It is a pretty one isn't it? I was just at Nubble last Thursday and Friday... took an overnight to the Southern part of the state. Then spent Friday night in Brooksville at my Aunt's camp- we could look across the bay and see The State of Maine docked in Castine! I love Maine, but I can't WAIT to go to Florida in September!

The Maine state quarter has a special meaning for our family. The ship pictured is the schooner Victory Chimes, which was owned by DH's grandfather (who lived in Castine.) DH spent so much time on that ship. We are very proud!

 

[Mermaid02]

Hey Lil' Mermaid.... my family is from Castine/Penobscot small world huh? And I did not know that was The Victory Chimes! Makes it even better now!

I knew they were released, but hadn't seen one yet.
That's very interesting, lil mermaid! I would be proud, too.

 

[lil mermaid]

yes...you can read all about it on www.victorychimes.com

Its an interesting site to poke around on!

 

[Mermaid02]

So is that a specific light house or just a "generic" one?? Does anyone know?

 

[Poohbear123]

Thanks for the info! I do love this Quarter, ours is suppose to be voted on too, god only knows what we will pick.....it will probably have hanging chads and raft boats

 

[lil mermaid]

It is the supposed to be based on the Pemaquid Point lighthouse. I've never been there,myself so not sure how accurate it looks!
