Drove to Bath, about 20 miles down the road. Bath was and still is a shipbuilding area. The have the honor of building the largest wooden ship ever built. Took the free trolley tour of the town to see all the large houses, once owned by the ship captains. The captains would use their crew to build their homes when not at sea, thus keeping them employeed. The main export from Bath to Europe was ice. They would take ice to Europe and bring back ballast of bricks and granite, thus many brick houses in Bath.
