In midcoast Maine, harbor edge structures and surfaces of wood, metal, stone, plastic and rock were the results of public and private decisions that may be probed as wharfscape -- the totality of the visible wharf and its use, its relation to both the competitive and cooperative life of the town as infrastructure and symbol, fragile and always changing. Wharfscape, a geography of movement, enclosure and space, reflects community and individual will, and is shaped by opportunity, argument, negotiation, and nature.
