Penobscot Bay. Penobscot Bay is an inlet of the Gulf of Maine and Atlantic Ocean in south central Maine.
Artists portray Penobscot Bay in a variety of ways, capturing both its rugged and serene qualities. Max Kuehne depicted the bay with bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colors, showcasing the raw power of the coastal landscape.
Kuehne’s impressionist style emphasized the movement of the turbulent sea, with crashing waves and foamy waters, conveying the dynamic energy of the bay. Fitz Henry Lane captured the bay’s serenity, featuring calm harbors and peaceful coves with soft, diffused light and a subtle play of shadows.
The bay originates from the mouth of Maine's Penobscot River, downriver from Belfast. Penobscot Bay has many working waterfronts including Rockland, Rockport, and Stonington, and Belfast.
Penobscot Bay is between Muscongus Bay and Blue Hill Bay, just west of Acadia National Park. At the beginning of the Holocene epoch 11,000 years ago, the Gulf of Maine's sea level fell as low as 180 feet below its present height. Penobscot Bay was then a continuation of Penobscot River that meandered through a broad lowland extending past present day Matinicus Island. Penobscot Bay and its chief tributary, the Penobscot River, are named for the Penobscot Indian Nation, which has continuously inhabited the area for more than ten thousand years, fishing, hunting and shellfish gather
